npm-download-counts
===================
[](http://travis-ci.org/brillout/npm-download-counts)
*Note: the npm download counts are pretty dodgy for a number of reasons, you probably shouldn't pretend they are accurate.*
```js
const moment = require('moment')
, downloadCounts = require('npm-download-count')
, package_name = 'levelup'
, start = moment().subtract(3, 'days').toDate() // start date for lookup
, end = new Date() // end date for lookup
downloadCounts({
package_name,
time_period: {
start,
end,
},
})
.then(count => {
console.log('%s was downloaded ~%d times in the last 3 days', package_name, count)
});
downloadCounts({
package_name,
time_period: 'last-month',
})
.then(count => {
console.log('%s was downloaded ~%d times in the last month', package_name, count)
});
```
Gives you something like:
```
levelup was downloaded ~122450 times in the last month
levelup was downloaded ~16344 times in the last 3 days
```
