dlstats: Download stats of R packages

Introduction

This R package queries download stats of R packages.

• For CRAN packages, it queries from RStudio download logs.

• For Bioconductor packages, it queries from Bioconductor download stats.

Shiny apps

We also provide shiny app for visualizing download stats of R packages.

User can use cranApp() or biocApp() for CRAN packages and Bioconductor packages respectively.
