cfftracker
Tracks CITATION.cff files across public repositories on GitHub.
Current count: 0

Note: This plot has been produced on cleaned up data that disregards drops in counts of > 100. These steep drops are due to temporal unreliabilities in results from the GitHub Search API, caused by backend work on GitHub at the time of the query (source: personal communication with GitHub staff). For a plot of the uncleaned data, see cff_counts.png.
Documentation
The tracker uses a GitHub Action workflow to query the GitHub Search API (basically an authenticated call to https://api.github.com/search/code?q=filename:CITATION.cff) for files with the filename CITATION.cff.
The total count is then extracted from the API response, added with the current date to a CSV file, written to a text file (for easy extraction), and put in README.md using regex replacement for the ## Current count: nnnn line.
Another script using pandas and matplotlib creates the graph you see above.
And finally, all updated files are committed and pushed back into this repository.
