Homebrew now packages krew and bypasses this statistics collection (Homebrew/homebrew-core#49428).

For a more accurate picture it would be good to take up the statistics from homebrew. For example, there are monthly download counts in

curl https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula/krew.json | jq .

There are two problems here:

1. The best we can extract from there is a moving average over the past 30 days. This makes it impossible to calculate accurate download counts for the last 24 hours.

2. It is difficult to map the download counts to the exact version that was installed.

To get a rough picture, we can do the following:

1. Estimate daily downloads by 30d-average / 30.
2. Always attribute downloads to the latest krew version.
