/r/Bitcoin stats

On my end, it doesn't resolve properly (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND) but maybe you'll have some luck:

Code:

// whiskers75's /r/Bitcoin Script! :)
// Coded by whiskers75 for theymos and users of the Bitcoin Forum.

var http = require('http');

var options = {
    port: 80,
    hostname: 'http://www.reddit.com',
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/r/bitcoin/about/traffic.json'
};
console.log('Requesting ' + options.hostname + options.path + ':' + options.port + ' (' + options.method + ')');
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
    res.setEncoding('utf8');
    res.on('data', function (chunk) {
        console.log(chunk);
    });
});

I think you need a way to include theymos' login details as well.

I'm on it but will need more time... so busy.

if somebody else would do it I'd be happy.

current suggestion is not complete. not sure about the language.

Great, phelix! Can't wait to see what you do with it once the data is readily available. Thought about doing something similar for bitcointalk.org?

Great stuff, Phelix.

Could you also write a "latest.json" file or something? It's kinda hard to properly figure out the time the date changes (especially with freaking summer/winter time).

ohoh this will need some more work to aggregate the data automatically...  but the weather is great outside

Nice work!

I didn't think of aggregating the month/week/day data, great idea! Shame the daily data isn't available for the whole period, but if you start collecting now you'll have it from this point on. With lots more data points the correlation should be quite a bit more clear. From your chart it looks pretty clearly to be a log-log relationship.

somewhat messed up but should be updating...

Will integrate it into my site when I find the time. And also set up a graph of the forum stats - that might take a while, though.

I guess it's disabled because of the haxoing...

[theymos]

Yes, but you can download stats directly from Reddit now:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/about/traffic.json

So I don't think that I will re-enable that script.

Will try to find the time to adapt my script...

Here is a site that gives stats on r/bitcoin http://stattit.com/r/bitcoin/

Hmm... I can't see any interesting diagram there - am I missing something?

It just provides summary stats AFAICT.

With the new forum image proxy the chart above is not updating any more...

Here you can see the updated version:
