Connect PyPI to clariBI with no API key to sync daily Python package download counts for the packages you choose, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data.

What is PyPI?

PyPI is the package index for the Python ecosystem. Daily download counts for each package are published through the open pypistats.org service, which reports installs per day.

clariBI reads the pypistats.org download API: the daily download total for the Python packages you choose. You type the package names, and the connector reads the counts read-only. No API key is required.

How to connect PyPI

  1. Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data SourcesAdd Data Source and find PyPI. There is no API key to paste, so you go straight to choosing packages.
  2. Choose packages. Type the Python package names to track (for example requests, numpy, or your own published package). clariBI reads the daily download counts read-only.
  3. Sync, then get dashboards. clariBI syncs the daily downloads, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How did downloads of our package track our release dates?" and the AI engine queries the synced counts alongside your business data.

What you can analyze

  • Daily download count per package over the available window
  • Download trend and week-over-week growth
  • Relative adoption across the packages you track
  • Spikes lined up with release or announcement dates
  • Download momentum next to your funnel or revenue
  • Cross-source: package downloads → sign-ups → revenue

What gets synced

clariBI pulls the available daily download history for the packages you select through the open pypistats.org API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.

For each selected package, clariBI syncs the daily download count, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.

clariBI only ever reads. The download-stats API is open, so there is no key or account to manage.

Questions across your other data

Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:

PairingQuestionHow clariBI answers
PyPI × Sign-ups"Did the spike in package downloads turn into product sign-ups?"Planner: read daily downloads from PyPI, align to your sign-up count by date, and report the lag between adoption and conversion.
PyPI × Releases"Which releases actually moved download volume?"Planner: read the daily download series from PyPI, mark your release dates, and report the change in downloads after each release.
