While working on Hubot Evolution project, it appeared meaningful to have some data about existing plugins for hubot.
There is already some code in https://github.com/hubotio/hubot-scripts-list for listing hubot-script packages from npmjs.org but the type of data we need can vary.
So this very simple shell script is caching list of packages that have hubot or hubot-scripts as keyword,
and also caches the json data for those.
The scan is cronned to run every 6 hours and result is shown on https://mose.github.io/hubot-census/
This repo comes with a cache preloaded, but information may not be up to date.
To refresh the cache, it takes 3 minutes or so to populate
node bin/get.js refresh
