Hi,
For the Debian derivatives census[1] integration[2] with debtags[3][4],
we wanted some way of ordering the derivatives by popularity. Since
several of the derivatives include a link to the corresponding
distrowatch page, we thought we could interface with distrowatch
somehow. Would it be possible to get a machine-parsible file containing
the redirect short URL[5], the table.php param[6] and some numerical
measure of popularity? The redirect short URL and the table.php
parameter are different for some distributions, for example LMDE[7][8].
