WordPress.org Support Stats

Scrape for support stats at set intervals from WordPress.org support forums.

This is a command-line tool, built using Go. It is built for the major systems (Windows, Mac, Linux), but needs more testers outside of Windows.

The tool will run indefinitely, fetching stats at a configurable rate, until you stop the script.

Setup and running

To use the scraper, you first need a WordPress.org account with admin rights to a support forum. After this, rename the config-sample.json file to config.json, and fill in the apropriate details:

• username : Your WordPress.org username
• password : Your WordPress.org password
• site address : The address to your forums front page
• schedule : How often to run the stats gatherer
  • hourly (default) runs on every full hour
  • daily runs once a day
  • weekly runs once a week

Once the configuration is done, run the wporg-support-stats file in your favorite command line interface (holding down shift and right-clicking will bring up a context-menu with command line interfaces available on Windows systems).

Output

The gathered data is stored in output/stats.csv as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, which can be opened by most spreadsheet applications (such as Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, and so forth).
