This should probably get moved to https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli (@denelon) AFAIK winget cli does contact the database everytime you run There have however been a request for a logo/icon in the manifest microsoft/winget-cli#1253, so maybe we'll get a different front-end in the future |

We do have some telemetry (assuming the OS and the client are configured to provide it). We use it primarily for troubleshooting and identifying errors and failure scenarios. This hasn't been vetted from a privacy or legal standpoint for external use. I'll start the discussions to see if there is some data we can provide. |

We don't get "all" install statistics. We only sample the data. As we've been discussing the mechanisms and governance concerns around sharing this kind of data, we've identified a few areas of concern. Publishers would need to have access to something to get this kind of data and should be able to decide if they are OK sharing the data. This data is available to Microsoft Store publishers today via Partner Center. As we continue to work on verified developer, this topic will be a part of the discussion. The main concern is how we verify developers and provide mechanisms for them to manage which GitHub aliases are authorized to make changes to the "allowed" list of users. That would also potentially be a good place for publishers to acquire the data and make the decision if they are comfortable with making the sampled data available to the public. |

The title says it all, I’m looking for a way to understand how many time a package is downloaded, installed, searched,… Couldn’t find anything about this, might not yet exist.
