npm download counts

GET https://api.api.sh/npm/v1/downloads
1 credit / call reference try it in the playground →

Download totals for a package over a period (last-day, last-week, last-month, last-year, or a YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD range up to 18 months), with the per-day series, daily average and peak day. Optionally add last-week downloads per version.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

nametypedescription
namerequired string Package name (scoped names like @types/node work), or an npmjs.com URL. Example: react
period string last-day, last-week (default), last-month, last-year or YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD. Example: last-month
by_version boolean true to include last-week downloads per version.
versions_limit integer Versions returned with by_version, 1-1000 (default 100).

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/npm/v1/downloads?name=react" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
