Stats Parser for Kakaostats.com

Just wanted to post this in case anyone was interested. It outputs a CSV, which at this moment I'm working on getting into a nice web format for Daily Stats. Maybe I'll just use RoR and output the text in a pretty formatted way. It uses kakaostats.com. Every site would require a complete rehaul of the XML/HTML parser.

Please don't do it. Each query to the database is very expensive so robots are a database killer.

I have already posted about robots:

You can parse the text files that Stanford make available for everyone.

Sorry about that. I'll pull it. I honestly just used it for posting daily stats here. I had no malicious intent for this. I don't even use it on a cron job. I manually run it once a day. No different than me surfing the page.

Once again, my sincere apologies!

I'm updating the code for a full site update for a full Ruby-on-Rails site based on data from Stanford itself.
