Get statistics on web traffic to your GitHub repositories.

Python CLI tool to get web traffic stats on the command line using the GitHub API.

A few use cases to show why this may be useful.

• Checking the volume of traffic to all of your repos. Monitor sudden spikes in interest or any general patterns.
• Storing the traffic stats for future reference.
• Checking how often your code is cloned.

pip install github_traffic_stats

• Requests (kennethreitz/requests)

There are a number of GitHub libraries for Python and other languages, although they may not support the Repository Traffic API (announced on August 15, 2016).

Run on the command line with either python or python3.
