Download (clone) statistics

For open source projects it is helpful to have download statistics to gauge project popularity. We should add basic download statistics.

Original request

For an open source project, it is important to have access to download statistics. It seems that this feature is not available in gitlab (it is possible with github) That is very strange. Is there a reason for this ? Are there plans to add this feature ?

Proposal

• Add chart showing the number of daily cloners for the last two weeks or 30 days
• Add chart showing the number of unique daily cloners (based on user id, falling back to IP address) for the last two weeks or 30 days
• Add Traffic API resource to retrieve clone statistics

{
  "count": 100,
  "uniques": 50,
  "clones": [
    {
      "timestamp": "2018-01-10T00:00:00Z",
      "count": 10,
      "uniques": 5
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Future

A future improvement would be to track download statistics of binaries attached to releases
