Description
GitHub introduced a new metric, which I find much more relevant than stars or downloads. It shows the number of times a dependency is used by other repositories. It would be nice to have that metric added to Github-scraper.

Research direction
Start by locating the JavaScript scraper code that currently collects stars, downloads, or other repository metrics. Check how the GitHub “Used by” value is represented on the repository pages shown in the issue images. Done means the metric is collected and exposed consistently with the existing metrics, with verification against a page that displays it.
