crates.io database dumps
Library for scripting analyses against crates.io's database dumps.
These database dumps contain all information exposed by the crates.io API packaged into a single download. An updated dump is published every 24 hours. The latest dump is available at https://static.crates.io/db-dump.tar.gz.

Examples
The examples/ directory of this repo contains several runnable example analyses.
Each of these examples can be run using Cargo once you've downloaded a recent database dump:
$ wget https://static.crates.io/db-dump.tar.gz
$ cargo run --release --example total-downloads
Here is the implementation of the most basic example, total-downloads, and graph of the resulting table. It shows crates.io download rate doubling every 9 months, or equivalently 10× every 2.5 years!
use NaiveDate;
use BTreeMap as Map;
Here is a graph from the user-downloads example:
