Free Stats Software for Podcasters
July 26, 2005
Kevin H. Devin, host and producer of the In the Trenches podcast, has released Podstats, a utility he wrote to parse raw log files and generate stats for podcasts. The script is used by Techpodcasts.com to generate and aggregate stats.
"I have released the script as Open Source under the GPL," notes Devin, "in hopes that as a community we can formalize some form of standard on stats generation that podcasters can use for potentially monetizing his or her podcast."
In addition to the release of Podstats, Chuck Tomasi has released an add-on script to take an XML log file produced by Libsyn and convert it to extended log file format for parsing by Podstats.
Podstats is written in PERL, and is used via a command-line. The script is available as a free download.
