Hi everyone!

1/ We have just released a Genie data dashboard for exploring download trends and stats for all the Julia packages, available at [https://pkgs.genieframework.com](https://pkgs.genieframework.com)

It’s an easy to use interface to the public data provided by the Julia/Pkg team.

A REST API is also available if you want to integrate with your own apps - as well as a link to download the DB (more info on the page).

2/ What better way to spread the word about the awesome Julia package ecosystem than equally awesome downloads count badges for our Github READMEs! Get yours also at [https://pkgs.genieframework.com](https://pkgs.genieframework.com) (instructions in the footer).

The code is available on Github at [https://github.com/GenieFramework/PkgVizBoard](https://github.com/GenieFramework/PkgVizBoard) - check it out and send your bugs, requests and PRs.

We had a lot of fun building these and I hope you’ll find them useful! Enjoy and spread the word.

Happy Sunday!

Adrian

Is there a way to remove the package name in the badge?

You just want to show the logo and the count? No way atm but could be easily added as an option.

Hi there,

Following this, I used to have a markdown badge at the readme of packages I maintain that listed the downloads of each package from the general registry. The badge led to the link

[https://pkgs.genieframework.com/?packages=DrWatson](https://pkgs.genieframework.com/?packages=DrWatson)

and the markdown syntax of the badge is

```markdown
[![Package Downloads](https://shields.io/endpoint?url=https://pkgs.genieframework.com/api/v1/badge/DrWatson)](https://pkgs.genieframework.com?packages=DrWatson)

```

however, this link doesn’t work anymore. What’s the solution?

Unfortunately we’ve had some hosting issues. We are looking for a new home for the app and we’ll bring back online soon.

The app had been working great for me. Will the same link work once you’ve resolved your hosting problems?

Hi @essenciary . We have been very happy using the badge on [Julia Package Comparisons](https://juliapackagecomparisons.github.io/). Do you have plans for bringing this back, or do you need help?

Hi @tp2750 - we’ve lost the DB with all the historical data. Data dumps only include the last 30 days. So we’d have to start practically from 0 and I didn’t see a lot of value in it. But if that’s of interest we can bring it back.

Too bad about the historical data, but I think there is still value in the stats. Over time it will build up again I suppose.
