npmPulse charts npm package history back to 2015
The site compares npm package download counts over daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly views, with shareable charts and an SVG endpoint for READMEs.
- For
- Developers comparing npm package adoption over time
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes install counts from people and marks interpolated missing days and excluded unfinished days on the chart.
Field notes
The page says its long-range charts are assembled from multiple requests because npm's downloads API limits a single-package response to 549 days and a multi-package response to 365. It offers daily through yearly views and says missing days are interpolated while unfinished recent counts are omitted; those adjustments are counted and shown. The figures come from npm and include CI and mirror traffic, so they represent installs rather than individual users.
