Pretty much everything is available in JSON format under the URL you’d expect to find it at.

Give me some ideas of something fun to build for this forum. Or maybe I will collect some stats. What do you guys want to see?

Here is a little bash script to get all the user data from the site:
#!/bin/bash
initialize()
{
# dependencies:
which jq >/dev/null
[[ $? -ne 0 ]] && echo "please install jq" && exit 1
which curl >/dev/null
[[ $? -ne 0 ]] && echo "please install curl" && exit 1
set -e
base_url=https://unstuckpolitics.com
order_by="likes_received"
data_dir="$(pwd)/data"
set +e; mkdir $data_dir; set -e
}
get_all_user_data()
{
# get first page
local i=0
api_path="/directory_items.json?period=all&order=$order_by"
curl_str="${base_url}${api_path}"
curl $curl_str > $data_dir/data$i.json
next_path=$(cat $data_dir/data$i.json | jq '.meta.load_more_directory_items' | tr -d "\"")
# loop until directory_items is empty
i=$((i+1))
while [[ $i -gt 0 ]]
do
curl_str="${base_url}${next_path}"
curl $curl_str > $data_dir/data$i.json
dir_items=$(cat $data_dir/data$i.json | jq '.directory_items[]')
if [[ -z $dir_items ]]
then
set -u
rm -f $data_dir/data$i.json
set +u
break
fi
next_path=$(cat $data_dir/data$i.json | jq '.meta.load_more_directory_items' | tr -d "\"")
i=$((i+1))
done
}
main()
{
initialize
get_all_user_data
}
main
This will create files in data/data*.json that contains all of the user data that is publicly available. There should be 10 files total. The ordering is sorted by likes_received, but you can sort by any other metric listed here:
“likes_received” “likes_given” “topic_count” “post_count” “topics_entered” “posts_read” “days_visited”
Just change the “order_by” variable in the initialize function. I could take it in as an argument but I’m lazy right now.
Here are the top posters ordered by likes received (cut out the people with zero likes):

What graphing tool was used in the OP? I can compile some fun data. Or someone else can take a crack at it. The visualization of this stuff isn’t really my strong suit.

I think likes/post was one graph previously put up that was interesting. Although I assume Riverman runs away with that also.
2 Likes
yea riverman’s ratio is nearly 3.0 likes/posts made. Absolutely absurd especially considering his volume is pretty high too. Namath struck me as also being pretty high up there. I’ll work on that one.
We can also get this data by year, by month, by week, by day, just gotta change the “period” param in the url. I think it would be fun to post weekly stats.
2 Likes
Agreed. Might also keep people thinking about it often enough to come up with some fun ideas for how to look at the data.

Lol and I thought I was doing pretty good at better than 1 like/post
writing python script right now to get that data. It’s really relaxing writing sloppy code and having it not matter at all.

Man I hope I’ve retained the top spot. It was the crowning achievement of my existence!

Well sure, but there have also been about eight million remakes of Robin Hood. Most of them aren’t good. It’s in the delivery, but more than that, the whole package. I am most often responding not to Riverman’s point but his style when making that point. Honestly, he very rarely has anything new to say that isn’t obvious, but he’s got his finger on how to get people to engage.

Looking forward to seeing some data and workshopping potential accounts of possible results to explain why mine make me cool somehow.

Riverman is hilarious and smart, but I also think that someone with a lot of likes now will have even more in the future because people actually read those posts. He also gets right to the point rather than meandering on, so people don’t just scroll past.

Here is a breakdown of likes per post, ordered from least to greatest. Minimum of 50 posts. Very interesting stuff in here. I find it hilarious that RealDonaldTrump is one of the most prolific posters on the site and has one of the lowest likes per post. I also find it hilarious that heritagenothate is rock bottom (by a good margin).
The people at the topic of the pack surprised me!
