957408 - Add a table of API usages

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Statistics, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

This is a feature request to add two tables to our statistics dashboards:

1) API's sorted by number of apps using them.  Example:

>      API              Apps
>        Geolocation      300
>        Camera           249
>        Contacts         111

This will help determine what APIs are used by developers and which we should be focusing our attention on.

2) A second table of APIs sorted by popularity of the apps.  Example:

>      API              Users
>        Geolocation      48,419
>        Camera           36,556
>        Contacts         18,992

This will help us determine what APIs are most encountered by the end users.  We can split #2 into a separate bug if it's too big.

This would require us knowing which apps use which APIs. I don't think we're tracking that anywhere at the moment. When that's in place we could do some counting queries and/or start tracking these in Monolith to do historical charting of APIs, possibly.

Correction:

If the APIs we want to track are those roughly defined here:
https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/mkt/constants/features.py#L15

we are already storing these in the db here:
https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/mkt/developers/views.py#L238

We could use those to do some counting.

Those are the right APIs as far as I know.  They would make an interesting table at least.
