Install

pip install pipdash

Commands

pipdash stats <package-name>

Full download statistics + metadata. Pepy is used where its public badge API exposes the same metric; PyPI Stats fills the remaining periods.

pipdash stats numpy
pipdash stats django --json      # JSON output for scripting
pipdash stats rag-harness --zerotraffic

--zerotraffic

pipdash stats <package-name> --zerotraffic

Use one consistent PyPI Stats view for every download period. It excludes known mirror downloads and never inserts estimates. Periods unavailable because the package is too new are omitted.

pipdash info <package>

Package metadata, dependencies, and links — no download API call needed.

pipdash info flask
pipdash info fastapi --json

pipdash compare <pkg1> <pkg2> ...

Side-by-side stats comparison of multiple packages.

pipdash compare requests httpx aiohttp
pipdash compare django flask fastapi

Flags

Data sources

No API key required. No sign-up. Completely free.

Note: Pepy’s public badge endpoints provide exact total, weekly, and monthly counts without an API key. PyPI Stats excludes known mirror downloads and is used for the remaining periods and the -zerotraffic mode. Pepy’s richer project API requires an API key, so pipdash does not depend on one.

Why pipdash?

• Uses Pepy where its public badges expose the same metric, while keeping the rest of the period history available from PyPI Stats
• PyPI's own API gives no useful download stats
• pypistats.org has an API but no nice CLI
• pipdash wraps both into one clean command
