A simple script that gives me number of download for github project release

github-dl-count.py

import requests
import json
import sys
 
# use argv... example:
# python github-dl-count MyUserName MyRepoName
user = sys.argv[1]
repo = sys.argv[2]
 
url="https://api.github.com/repos/%s/%s/releases" % (user, repo)
 
r = requests.get(url)
 
releases = json.loads(r.content)
 
for release in releases:
    print release['name']
    for asset in release['assets']:
        print '\t',asset['name'], asset['download_count']
