How often does Open-digger compute and update?
Hi, we want to analyze some new metrics, such as the number of downloads of a release. This metric is time-sensitive, so we want to know how often Open-digger calculates and updates? Thanks.
Hello, I think you want to do some work such as calculating some metrics using sample data. Our sample data comes from gharchive.org. They collect all GitHub logs. If using sample data, your data is fixed within a period and not real-time updated. But in our central database, we will synchronize log data with a several-day delayed time(no more than 2 days I think)
Thank you! If the log data is synchronized every two days, I think our work is feasible, because the number of downloads delayed for two days does not change much.
Actually the delay is only several hours, but the number of release downloads is not part of the events log, the count can be retrieved only by API with authorized token I think.
In "open-digger/docs/assets/data_description.csv", line 123, does the field "release_assets.download_count" means the number of downloads for this release?

Yes, but actually the events log only record on release create, that means the release_assets.download_count is always 0 in the log.
You are welcome, and you can use GitHub API to get the data you want. We also open source a simple GitHub GraphQL Node.js client to handle token and concurrency, feel free to use it https://github.com/X-lab2017/github-graphql-client.
I will close the issue for now and you can open issue if you have any other problem or feature request.
