# downloads-cli [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/downloads-cli) [](https://npmjs.org/package/downloads-cli)
> Commandline application for retrieving npm download counts for the specified repository or maintainer.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save downloads-cli
```## Usage
Once installed globally, there will be a `downloads` command that can be run from the command line.
To see the download counts for a module, specify the module name after the `downloads` command like this:
```sh
$ downloads micromatch
```Example output from running `$ downloads micromatch`:

## Formatting
Use the `--format` option to format the results as a table (this is the default).
Run the following command to the downloads formatted as a table:
```sh
$ downloads micromatch --format
```
If you need to use the results as a JSON object, use the `--format` command with `json` after it:
```sh
$ downloads micromatch --format json
``````json
[
{
"name": "micromatch",
"yesterday": 298701,
"lastWeek": 1667018,
"lastMonth": 7561132,
"total": 72246952
}
]
```This can be output to a json file using the `bash` `>` character:
```sh
$ downloads micromatch --format json > micromatch-downloads.json
```## Maintainer
To get downloads for all of the modules maintained by a specific maintainer, use the `--maintainer` or `-m` option:
```sh
$ downloads --maintainer doowb
```This shows a table with a summary for the maintainer's total counts:

The `--format` option will also work with `--maintainer` to return a `json` array of necessary:
```json
