I was wondering if there is any way I could display my project statistics (your lovely google graphs) on my own website both from a legal/copyright and a technical view?

    Our stats images are built by direct links to Google's Charts API, so you can't link directly to the images (the URLs are always changing). I suppose you could do some screenscraping to grab the most recent URL for an image. We'd appreciate a link back to our site if you do.

    Sincerely,
    Jeff

    Thanks, I will make sure you get a lovely large link back to the site.

    Are there any plans to perhaps include the links within the results of a "Show Project" (http://help.freshmeat.net/faqs/api-7/data-api-projects) api call in the future?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll ask scoop what he thinks of it. You could also build your own graphs by periodically polling and grabbing the vitality, subscriptions, etc.

    Sincerely,
    Jeff
