Scraping badge data from Stack Exchange and generating some graphs.

Graphs

Election Activity

Run

pip3 install -r requirements.txt &&
python3 -m pytest &&
./election_observer.py

Writing updated data back to disk is very slow.

Flags

-n, --no-update: Don't fetch any new/updated data, just use what you already have.

-m, --no-write: Don't write any new/updated data.

-e, --forever: Repeat forever, with some delay.

Needed Improvements

• We shouldn't remove the existing data files until we finish writing the updated ones. Interrupting a write can currently cause corruption.
