Users Page Down

The users page has been down for awhile now, is it ever coming back? It was a pretty neat feature of the site to see which players had run the most games/categories and which countries had x amount of players. Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, I'm not aware of the original.

@Liv Perhaps there was some heavy automated scraping going on?

Is there maybe some way to get the same info using the API? Haven't done much API related code myself, but that seems like it might be an alternative.

Speaking from the experience of scraping the site (which is not the same as using the API but served the same functional purpose), you could. But you'd need to poll for essentially every user. And then process the data for each of them. It'd take a long ass time. Especially since I'm not sure there's a central list of users anymore.

Interestingly, the API call to get all users (without any additional filters) does not work either. https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/users

[QUOTE=Garsh] @AlfredoSalza Uhh maybe don’t harass Elo staff... they’re not going to reply anyway (with the exception of starsmiley). Reading the forums should make it pretty clear that nobody knows when the pages are coming back, maybe they won’t ever. There are ways to give feedback via the support hub (which used to be the feedback thread), copy and pasting a message to all Elo staff isn’t going to help anything. [/QUOTE] Harassment? From my experience contacting them on discord ELO staff have always been quite quick and happy to respond to any user questions.
