From the upstream publisher
A Convex Component for syncing and rendering open source project data.
Upstream overview
From the upstream package documentation.
This component automatically syncs GitHub stars, dependencies, and npm download statistics for your open source projects directly into your Convex database. It provides real-time updates via GitHub webhooks and includes React hooks for live download counters. You can track entire organizations or individual repositories and packages, with aggregated statistics and forecasting capabilities.
Use cases
From the upstream package documentation.
- Portfolio dashboards - Display live GitHub star counts and npm download metrics for your open source projects on your personal or company website
- OSS project analytics - Track adoption trends across multiple repositories and packages with day-of-week averages and historical data
- Real-time project monitoring - Set up automated syncing via webhooks to get instant updates when repositories receive new stars
- Multi-project aggregation - Combine statistics from related packages and repositories to show total impact across an entire organization
- Live download counters - Use the
useNpmDownloadCounterhook to display forecasted download counts that update continuously in your UI
How it works
From the upstream package documentation.
The component uses GitHub's API with personal access tokens to fetch repository metadata like star counts and dependent counts, while npm statistics are pulled from public npm APIs without authentication. You configure it by specifying githubOwners, npmOrgs, githubRepos, and npmPackages in the OssStats constructor, then expose the API functions through your Convex backend.
Real-time updates work through GitHub webhooks registered at /events/github that trigger automatic data syncing when stars change. For npm data, the component calculates download rate forecasts based on historical patterns. The useNpmDownloadCounter React hook provides live-updating download counts with configurable intervals for smooth UI animations.
Data querying happens through standard Convex patterns using useQuery on the frontend with functions like getGithubOwner and getNpmOrg, or directly from backend functions using the ossStats client methods. You can also set up manual syncing via cron jobs using the sync() function if you prefer not to use webhooks.
Upstream package FAQ
How often does OSS Stats update GitHub and npm data?
OSS Stats runs on Convex scheduled functions that you can configure based on your needs. The component includes sensible defaults for update frequency while respecting GitHub and npm API rate limits to ensure reliable data syncing.
What GitHub and npm metrics does this component track?
OSS Stats collects GitHub repository data including stars, forks, watchers, open issues, and basic repository information. For npm packages, it tracks download counts, version information, and package metadata, storing all data in structured Convex tables.
Does OSS Stats handle API rate limiting for GitHub and npm?
Yes, OSS Stats includes built-in rate limiting logic and error handling for both GitHub and npm APIs. It implements exponential backoff, respects API limits, and gracefully handles temporary failures to ensure consistent data collection.
Can I customize which repositories and packages OSS Stats monitors?
OSS Stats allows you to configure which GitHub repositories and npm packages to track through Convex environment variables or configuration. You can add or remove projects without code changes and the component will automatically adjust its monitoring.

Convex OSS Stats Component
Keep GitHub and npm data for your open source projects synced to your Convex database.
// convex/stats.ts
import { components } from "./_generated/api";
import { OssStats } from "@erquhart/convex-oss-stats";
export const ossStats = new OssStats(components.ossStats, {
// Get stats for entire owners / orgs
githubOwners: ["get-convex"],
npmOrgs: ["convex-dev"],
// Or individual repos / packages
githubRepos: ["get-convex/convex-js"],
npmPackages: ["@convex-dev/convex-js"],
});
export const {
sync,
clearAndSync,
getGithubOwner,
getNpmOrg,
getGithubRepo,
getGithubRepos,
getNpmPackage,
getNpmPackages,
} = ossStats.api();
// src/OssStats.tsx
import { useQuery } from "convex/react";
import { useNpmDownloadCounter } from "@erquhart/convex-oss-stats/react";
import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api";
const OssStats = () => {
const githubOwner = useQuery(api.stats.getGithubOwner, {
owner: "get-convex",
});
const npmOrg = useQuery(api.stats.getNpmOrg, {
org: "convex-dev",
});
// Use this hook to get a forecasted download count for an npm package or org
const liveNpmDownloadCount = useNpmDownloadCounter(npmOrg);
return (
<>
{/* If webhook is registered, this will update in realtime 🔥 */}
<div>{githubOwner.starCount}</div>
<div>{liveNpmDownloadCount.count}</div>
</>
);
};
Prerequisites
Convex App
You'll need a Convex App to use the component. Follow any of the Convex quickstarts to set one up.
GitHub Account (if syncing GitHub data)
From your GitHub account, get the following credentials:
- Access Token
- Go to account settings and generate a new access token with read access to public repositories.
- Webhook Secret: do this for each org or repo.
- Note: this is optional. Without it, you won't get live star counts. See how to manually sync data below.
- Go to the settings for the org/repo and create a new webhook.
- Get the HTTP Actions URL for your Production Convex deployment settings: https://dashboard.convex.dev/deployment/settings > HTTP Actions URL
- Payload URL:
<http-actions-url>/events/github - Content type:
application/json - Generate a secret to share between your Convex deployment and GitHub
- Which events? > Select individual > Stars only
Note on npm data
npm data accessed by this component is public and doesn't require any credentials.
Installation
Install the component package:
npm install @erquhart/convex-oss-stats
Create a convex.config.ts file in your app's convex/ folder and install the component by calling use:
// convex/convex.config.ts
import { defineApp } from "convex/server";
import ossStats from "@erquhart/convex-oss-stats/convex.config";
const app = defineApp();
app.use(ossStats);
export default app;
Set your API credentials:
npx convex env set GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxx
npx convex env set GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=xxxxx
If you haven't been running npx convex dev yet, you'll need to start it now.
It will generate code for the component in your convex/_generated/api folder,
and will deploy changes automatically as you change files in convex/.
Instantiate an OssStats Component client in a file in your app's convex/ folder:
// convex/example.ts
import { OssStats } from "@erquhart/convex-oss-stats";
import { components } from "./_generated/api";
export const ossStats = new OssStats(components.ossStats, {
githubOwners: ["get-convex"],
npmOrgs: ["convex-dev"],
});
// Re-export functions for direct access from your convex instance
export const { sync, getGithubOwner, getNpmOrg } = ossStats.api();
Register GitHub webhook handlers by creating an http.ts file in your convex/ folder and use the client you've exported above:
// http.ts
import { ossStats } from "./example";
import { httpRouter } from "convex/server";
const http = httpRouter();
ossStats.registerRoutes(http);
export default http;
Querying data from the frontend
Use the useQuery hook to get data from the component. Here's an example of how to get data for a GitHub owner (org or user) and an npm package or org:
// src/OssStats.tsx
import { useQuery } from 'convex/react'
import { api } from '../convex/_generated/api'
const OssStats = () => {
const githubOwner = useQuery(api.stats.getGithubOwner, {
owner: 'get-convex',
})
const npmOrg = useQuery(api.stats.getNpmOrg, {
org: 'convex-dev',
})
return (
<>
{/* If webhook is registered, this will update in realtime 🔥 */}
<div>{githubOwner.starCount}</div>
<div>{npmOrg.downloadCount}</div>
</>
)
}
Available queries

const { starCount, dependentCount, dayOfWeekAverages, updatedAt } = useQuery(
api.stats.getGithubOwner,
{ owner: "get-convex" }
);

React hooks
useNpmDownloadCounter
Provides a forecasted download count for an npm package or org that updates on an interval.
Args:
npmPackageOrOrg: npmPackageOrOrg object returned from thegetNpmPackageorgetNpmOrgqueryoptions: optional options objectintervalMs: override the calculated interval
Returns:
count: regularly updated download countintervalMs: the interval at which the count is updated (useful for configuring client animations, such as a NumberFlow component)
import { useNpmDownloadCounter } from "@erquhart/convex-oss-stats/react";
import NumberFlow from '@number-flow/react'
const npmOrg = useQuery(api.stats.getNpmOrg, { org: "convex-dev" });
const { count, intervalMs } = useNpmDownloadCounter(npmOrg)
return (
<NumberFlow
transformTiming={{
duration: intervalMs,
easing: 'linear',
}}
value={count}
trend={1}
continuous
willChange
/>
)
Querying data from the backend
You can also query data from the backend using the ossStats object.
Note: the data will only be available for the owners and npm orgs you configured
and have synced.
// Within a Convex query, mutation, or action:
// All of the owners you configured when initializing the OssStats object
const githubOwners = await ossStats.getAllGithubOwners(ctx);
// A single owner
const githubOwner = await ossStats.getGithubOwner(ctx, "get-convex");
// All of the npm orgs you configured when initializing the OssStats object
const npmOrgs = await ossStats.getAllNpmOrgs(ctx);
// A single npm org
const npmOrg = await ossStats.getNpmOrg(ctx, "convex-dev");
// A single github repo
const githubRepo = await ossStats.getGithubRepo(ctx, "get-convex/convex-js");
// Combined stats for a list of github repos
const githubRepos = await ossStats.getGithubRepos(ctx, [
"get-convex/convex-js",
"get-convex/convex-helpers",
]);
// A single npm package
const npmPackage = await ossStats.getNpmPackage(ctx, "@convex-dev/convex-js");
// Combined stats for a list of npm packages
const npmPackages = await ossStats.getNpmPackages(ctx, [
"@convex-dev/convex-js",
"@convex-dev/convex-helpers",
]);
Options and configuration
Manually syncing data
If you don't want to use the webhook, you can use a cron job to sync data:
// In convex/crons.ts
import { cronJobs } from "convex/server";
import { internal } from "./_generated/api";
export const syncStars = internalAction(async (ctx) => {
await ossStats.sync(ctx);
});
const crons = cronJobs();
crons.interval("syncStars", { minutes: 15 }, internal.stats.syncStars);
export default crons;
You could alternatively call this from the CLI or dashboard:
npx convex run crons:syncStars
Or call it via an http endpoint:
// In convex/http.ts
import { httpAction } from "./_generated/server";
//...
http.route({
path: "/syncStars",
method: "POST",
handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => {
if (request.headers.get("x-api-key") !== process.env.API_KEY) {
return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
}
await ossStats.sync(ctx);
return new Response("ok", { status: 200 });
}),
});
API_KEY can be set in the dashboard or via npx convex env set API_KEY=...
Override the default /events/github path
ossStats.registerRoutes(http, {
path: "/my/github/webhook",
});
