VSCode Marketplace Extension Stats tool anyone with nodejs installed can run 🏃 to get periodic Installs & Downloads counts for Visual Studio family of products extensions.
I created this simple script tool to capture vscode extension statistics for
DataPreview 🈸 & help me evaluate & analyze extension performance & foot 👣 traffic in Visual Studio marketplace since Microsoft doesn't provide a proper dashboard for extension authors yet :)
Note: You can use it for any of your own VS extensions || see how popular other extensions are in VS marketplace.
Install
$ git clone https://github.com/RandomFractals/vscode-marketplace-ext-stats
$ cd vscode-marketplace-ext-stats
Note: nodejs v10.16.0 || higher required! No other modules or libs needed :) Thus, no package.json atm.
Run
$ cd tools
$ node vscode-marketplace-stats <extensionName>
where <extensionName> is the Unique Identifier from Visual Studio Marketplace, i.e. itemName param from VS marketplace url :)
Examples
Get GitLens VSCode etension stats:
tools>node vscode-marketplace-stats eamodio.gitlens
Get Live Share Visual Studio extension stats:
tools>node vscode-marketplace-stats MS-vsliveshare.vsls-vs
