How does Godot Asset Library work (programming.dev)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So I know the Godot Asset Library links back to some other source like GitHub for the actual files. It also appears that it uses the "git archive" to create the zip file, because you can update .gitattributes to ignore everything but what is in the addons directory which is handy for a plugin.

But does it have any other metrics, like number of times an Asset is downloaded or used? I'm not sure that you can tell from the GitHub analytics if it is pulling it since that table seems to show "clones" and not "archive"s? Also it probably wouldn't look like a new user.

Anyway I was just curious enough to shoot out this question into the ether.

I must admit... I have never used it so I never really ask myself this question.

However you can view the code since it's on GitHub: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-asset-library/tree/master

I think it's a simple PHP REST API that stores links to a online source (like git hub) and can be requested along some information about the asset.
