Fail to have the data more than half year about pypistats HOT 4 CLOSED

Please see PR #86.

from pypistats.

That's right, the API used only has 6 months' data:

• https://pypistats.org/about#data

For data back to January 2016, you can use https://github.com/ofek/pypinfo, and will need to sign up for an API key. You get free quota too, but might not be able to get the full output in a single month.

See https://github.com/hugovk/pypi-tools for some tools that can help.

I'll update the README and possibly add a warning to code.

Why cannot we have all the data via pypistats, instead of just six months?

PyPI Stats attempts to operate within the free tier of its hosted services. For this reason, aggregate data is only retained for 180 days.
