Are Keyboard Download Statistics Available?

Keyman

Greetings,

I was wondering if download statistics (by year, or all-time) are available for specific keyboards and packages? If not already available online, are they available by request?

thanks!

Hi Daniel, we have stat for monthly downloads in Keyman 14, but no options to show by year or all-time just yet.

Monthly download stats are available as Makara says, either through the website – currently at https://keyman-staging.com/keyboards/, or programmatically through the search 2.0 API, for example: https://api.keyman.com/search/2.0/?q=k:id:khmer_angkor&f=1 returns the following (trimmed here):

{
    "keyboards": [
        {
...
            "id": "khmer_angkor",
...
            "match": {
                "name": "Khmer Angkor",
                "type": "keyboard_id",
                "weight": 1,
--->            "downloads": 51,
                "finalWeight": 4.951243718581427
            }
        }
    ],
    "context": {
...
    }
}

The download stats are currently only updated when the keyboard database is refreshed, which happens multiple times a week in typical circumstances. We can probably update this to include more statistics as we already have the data, we just have not surfaced it yet.

The data is built with Google Analytics on the backend; it records an event when someone starts a download but does not track download completion or installation.

This example shows 51 downloads in the 30 days prior to the last time the database was built.
