Drupal.org DOM Parser

Retrieves information about a specified project from Drupal.org., _(*2)

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., _(*3)

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., _(*4)
