Download statistics for GitHub Releases

[njzjz]

Feature description:

Support the download statistics for GitHub Releases.

Problem and motivation:

Some packages are distributed through GitHub Releases. It's nice to support the download statistics for it.

shield.io has supported it: https://shields.io/badges/git-hub-all-releases

Is this something you're interested in working on?

Yes, but need some instructions.

Some investigation:

• Refined GitHub (a browser extension) uses GraphQL to implement it.

  https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/blob/2fcbc2b28b6ca8c241c0411887e53a61b9e33e1e/source/features/release-download-count.gql

  repository(owner: $owner, name: $name) {
    release(tagName: $tag) {
      releaseAssets(first: 100) {
        nodes {
          name
          downloadCount
        }
      }
    }
  }

• ReleaseAsset - Objects - GitHub Docs

Besides, this issue is a TODO in current codebase.

# TODO: Github assets download: https://github.com/badgen/badgen.net/blob/master/endpoints/github.ts#L125

The link is broken, and I guess https://github.com/badgen/badgen.net/blob/3d48d296181bbbe7301b721699ca70c148184ecc/pages/api/github.ts#L179 may help.
