recent_downloads is 0 in API data

[djc]

I looked at the API data returned for Askama in order to submit it for AreWeWebYet. I thought it might be nice to expose the recent downloads on that site as well, but when I looked into the data recent_downloads is 0. If I look at https://crates.io/categories/template-engine, however, the value for askama is 226. Also in the API data, the downloads number for the release I did yesterday is 6, so it's not like the underlying data is wrong. (Assuming crate-wide downloads are calculated by summing version downloads.)

Are you sure it's 0? I'd expect it to be null on anything other than crates/index.

Could you clarify what URL you were requesting where you see recent_downloads being zero?

[natboehm]

If you mean the route GET /crates/crate_id, recent_downloads is indeed zero. We're currently working on a fix, however as a workaround you could submit a request to the route GET /search?q=askama that searches for the crate. Your crate name of Askama will always be the exact match and I know that the field recent_downloads is definitely accessible there.

For reference, this line in fn show is problematic.

Yeah, I'm hitting /crates/crate_id.

This was fixed by #1023 which has been deployed! https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/askama is showing me "recent_downloads": 141 :)

Thanks!
