README

Drupal.org DOM Parser

Retrieves information about a specified project from Drupal.org.

Usage

$project_name = 'ctools';
$project_stats = new Balsama\DrupalOrgProject\Stats($project_name);

Available information

General (Taken from the "Project information" section of the project page)

• Total downloads $project->getTotalDownloads
• Total installs $project->getTotalInstalls

Releases (Deduced from the "Downloads" section of the project page)

• Drupal 8 Stability $project_stats->getD8Stability

Usage (Taken from the Project Usage table on the "project/usage" page)

• Current Drupal 8 usage $project_stats->getCurrentD8Usage
• Current Drupal 7 usage $project_stats->getCurrentD7Usage
• All usage data $project_stats->getAllUsage

Other

• Human-readable name $project_stats->getHumanReadableName
• Machine name $project_stats->getMachineName

Other classes

If you're only interested in getting the info from the usage table, you can use the Usage class instead which only fetches data from the /project/usage/{project_name} page. This is somewhat less likely to break as D.O seems to change the markup of that page less frequently.

Why?

At the time this was created, there wasn't any public facing D.O API. Even now, there is some information that's either not available or is cumbersome to get via the API.
