in reply to CPAN testers API

CPAN::Testers has a graphic that points me to http://stats.cpantesters.org/, which in turn points to http://devel.cpantesters.org/#database, which seems to indicate that the (whole) database is for download (2Gb here) as an SQLite file.

I don't see a more convenient way to query things per-distribution though.

    Do not use the SQLite download, it is incomplete and no longer maintained. The links will be removed shorly.

    Secondly, please use CPAN::Testers::WWW::Reports::Query::Report to download reports. Use the YAML/JSON file for the specific distribution, then download the reports you need. Saves a lot of screenscraping, and is *a lot* less of a drain on the server ;)

    PS: I would have posted a comment on blogs.perl, but sadly I have been banned from doing so it would seem :(
