Reach out to NMP and ask them if you are thinking about integrating the unique Monthly ips that run a particular npm package , so that we can figure out how many people are actually using an npm package vs, number of people who downloaded it

Every time npm runs it generates a unique ID that it sends as a header for every request it makes during that run. This ID is random and not tied to you in any way, and once npm finishes running it is deleted. We use this ID for debugging the registry: it lets us see that these 5, 10 or 50 requests were all part of the same operation, which makes it easier to see what’s going on when somebody has a problem. It also makes it possible to say roughly how many times npm is run – or at least, run in a way that makes a request to the registry. There were 84 million npm sessions in March: this number is growing faster than IPs, but less quickly than downloads.

ask the data science community of practice to invent a formula for guessing how many per use an npm for every download. So if you have 300 downloads, do you have 3 users or 30, etc?
