This sounds good  :-)

Fist I have a cron job that does updates the latest.json in a fixed
interval (e.g. every hour). In addition I use that output and strip
the packages stuff from the json with jq and only store the stats part
of the output for every day.
For having the stats back in the past I have a script that does a
checkout for every day in the past and generates this stats output.
