[Feature]:Please add a query parameter to the Package Stats page URL to make the data accessible via a GET request

Related Problem

I’m working on automating NuGet package statistics by using HTTP calls to download and process the Package Stats page.

This particular page uses JavaScript to load data on demand through the Show more link.

Please add a query parameter to the URL to make the data accessible via a GET request.

The Elevator Pitch

Package statistics automation.

Additional Context and Details

Package statistics.

No requests are sent on clicking "Show more". All data is loaded in one shot on page load using a request like https://www.nuget.org/stats/reports/packages/VijayAnand.MauiTemplates?groupby=Version.

The problem is that unless the Show more link is clicked, the HTML source displays the template (static text) instead of the actual data.

<!--
There must be some content (even if it is just whitespace or a comment) in data-bound elements, as of Knockout 3.5.0.
See https://github.com/knockout/knockout/issues/2446.

You can get raw data in JSON format if you send the request I mentioned. No need to parse HTML.

My bad.

Thanks for the report URL that returns the JSON response. Now it's quite simple to extract the data.

Is there a similar URL for this page to extract the cumulative version info?

https://www.nuget.org/packages/VijayAnand.MauiTemplates (Versions tab)

Kindly share the URL for the package page JSON, if available.

Now the package page has also been converted to JS-based on-demand loading 😟
