Let me know if this is a good plan. I am FROWNING on the method (that server runs some fairly critical operations) but I like the goal.As far as an API goes, I'd have to ask, although I would definitely prefer dumping 1000 records once or twice per table to 4 hrs of scraping. Let me know if you want me to ask, CAUTION: conversation may go like this:ME: Hey can we make an API or an export function so anyone can download our leaderboard data en masse?VP: Um, why?ME: Well... [insert explanation of data scraping and server load]VP: Just make it so that doesn't happen.ME: Erkay.....Of course, he may also say "Sure, go for it". Say the word and I'll venture to ask about it.</blockquote>
