I have built a website to be able to check all GitHub repo traffic views of an account:
https://github-traffic-viewer.netlify.com/
Source code is available at GitHub.
My motivation (taken from my GitHub traffic CLI blog post):
Since I published my first projects on GitHub I really enjoyed viewing the traffic on my repositories. It is really interesting to see how many people visit or clone my repositories.
Unfortunately it costs a lot of time to click through all available repositories and I was looking for a more elegant way.
Used technologies: Gatsby.js, Netlify, Firebase, React.js
Let me know what you think about it and if it is also helpful for you!

This is a really cool idea and looks like just what I was looking for. I must admit I'm a little cautious about using it though as the app wants to see my private repos and email addresses; which is a bit too much sharing for me.
Ok, I can understand your concern. I built this for my own purpose and I also wanted to see the stats for my private repos.
That's fair enough, it is a neat idea either way.
Tried it out. Pretty neat 🙂
does not work w/ third party cookies disabled.
Yes, unfortunately third party cookies are needed to be able to authenticate at GitHub via Firebase
Can the same be done for bitbucket?
I recently interviewed for a job and shared a private repo for the interviewer. I want to know if they even visited :P
Mhm, I don't think so. I just took a quick look at the Bitbucket REST API but could not find a similar endpoint to fetch the views of a repository.
Alternatively, according to this blog post from 2012 you could also track your repo via Google Analytics.
Thank you so much Michael, for taking a look at the API. If I'm not wrong, the analytics would only be able to pick future views and not past? Since in my case I had given the repo link almost a week ago. Anyway, I got good news yesterday, I've been selected. :)
Yes, the analytics data would only represent future views. Nevertheless, congratulations for beeing selected ;-)
