April 2015 Summaries

Bintray introduced a feature for Premium and OSS package users that allows them to access detailed download analytics down to the organization level, such as identifying downloads from specific companies like Acme Corp. This feature is available for any package type on Bintray and is free for OSS packages in JCenter, offering users rich, live logs and fully parsable logs in CSV or Apache common format. These logs can be accessed via REST API or by downloading in preferred formats, which include Apache-style and CSV logs, with the latter providing additional data like ZIP codes and geolocation. This detailed analytics capability is a valuable tool for understanding software popularity, analyzing download activity by version, geo-location, and organization, and making informed marketing decisions. As of May 1, 2021, however, Bintray services will no longer be available, though ConanCenter and JCenter remain unaffected.
