Popstats Overview
A loosely-associated set of tools written in PHP 5 that facilitate API-level access to various data providers on the web. These data providers provide metrics as to the popularity of a website based on their own internal criteria.
The intended audience for these tools are PHP programmers and integrators; these are not intended for use by an end-user or non-programmer.
You are highly encouraged to contribute to this project by submitting improvements or bugfixes that have general benefit to the tools.
