team add request

[Bok]

Correct.

Plus it's a screen scraping exercise as no files are produced by dnet unfortunately.

well if can parse one page you can parse them all. it's just a matter of server load.

maybe top 50 teams??

[Bok]

No way would I crawl the whole lot. Dnet have already said NOT to. With top 50, again I'd hit password protected pages.

I should certainly rewrite the parser to drive from the team list rather than having it based on individual team-id's, it's not just not high on my 'intersting to do' list right now.

maybe changes on their side, like xml exporting will be better?

[Bok]

I don't really care what format it is in, as long as it was in single files. Parsing html is not fun and prone to errors anyway.

I've asked a few times for the same thing you are and been knocked back though

No reason not to keep trying mind

Yes pity some people don't realize the amount of trouble that others go to in order to update and keep stats running...

Well discussion clarify something

Thanks to Simon T. we've got another XML export in our stable.
The Participant Summary page is now available as an XML export.
The new page can be reached at:

http://stats.distributed.net/partici...ummary_xml.php

The page takes the following arguments [as query string parameters]:
id = The participant ID
project_id = The project ID [25 == OGR-25, 8 == RC5-72]
show_friends = Include friend statistics in a <friends> element
show_neighbors = Include neighbor statistics in a <neighbors> element

An example can be seen here:
http://stats.distributed.net/partici...ow_neighbors=1

Hopefully over the next few weeks/months we'll get a more robust implementation to allow all of our statistics pages to be viewed in XML form, making life much easier for those 3rd party statistics web sites to grab their core data.
