Getting overall download number for dataverse files

[chaudj]

Hi

Not sure if this question has been raised before but in the other versions of Dataverse, we could see the number of downloads for the entire Dataverse. In this new version, its for the specific studies.

How do i get the overall number of downloaded files.

Thanks
Jacquie

@chaudj, I'll add this to the "miniverse" API metrics...

Right now it has downloads by month. Not vouching for uptime, but test site is here:
https://services-dataverse.herokuapp.com/static/swagger-ui/index.html?url=https://services-dataverse.herokuapp.com/metrics/v1/swagger.yaml#!/metrics_-_files/get_files_downloads_count_monthly

install docs should be avail by next Monday

@raprasad it looks like you added some install/setup docs at https://github.com/IQSS/miniverse so I'm moving this to Code Review at https://waffle.io/IQSS/dataverse so you can either advance it to QA or move it back into dev if you still want to work on the docs before letting @chaudj give miniverse a whirl.

This morning I spoke with @raprasad about this issue and after poking around at https://services.dataverse.harvard.edu/static/swagger-ui/index.html?url=/miniverse/metrics/v1/swagger.yaml#!/metrics_-_dataverses/get_dataverses_count_monthly we think that what @chaudj wants is possible.

@chaudj are you asking about download stats from https://dataverse.harvard.edu or your own installation of Dataverse?

@djbrooke I'm changing the assignment from @raprasad to you because we're not sure what to do with this issue at this point. Please help. Thanks!

@chaudj

fyi: The API description "advertises" monthly counts but also gives a total cumulative count. See data.total_downloads below:

Thanks @pdurbin and @raprasad!

@chaudj let me know when you have a chance to take a look and I'll move this along in our workflow.

@chaudj are you able to get the data you want out of miniverse? Installation instructions can be found at https://github.com/IQSS/miniverse

@chaudj I believe we chatted at the most recent community meeting so I have a little more context now. One new thing I wanted to point out is that you can get overall downloads from https://dataverse.harvard.edu/api/info/metrics/downloads/toMonth (for example) as documented at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.9.4/api/metrics.html

[chaudj]

Great! Thanks...
