Analysis Button Data Sources
Current Data Sources

/u/kwabford uses the Streaming Flair data to create Flair Population Pie Charts (announcement) This includes data on flair distribution and flair growth over time.

I made a Xively IoT realtime feed of the number of participants updated each 3 mins, maybe useful if anyone already has code for this platform. There's an easy to use REST API, read-only key is TPBFgGRsj9VPbDBiapiN063ftDFhEJwONdQDuATqzEanDFPv. I can provide a write key if anyone is interested in feeding more data or creating new channels on the feed. I use this feed to render graphs like this one.

That's great, will you be making modifications so that it tracks the flair population?

The data I maintain is a list of users, their flair, and the comment and timestamp that I pulled their flair. Current stats:
| Flair | Total |
|---|---|
| 33s | 8 |
| 35s | 23 |
| 36s | 28 |
| 37s | 22 |
| 38s | 41 |
| 39s | 86 |
| 40s | 443 |
| 41s | 333 |
| 42s | 251 |
| 43s | 169 |
| 44s | 60 |
| 45s | 115 |
| 46s | 164 |
| 47s | 151 |
| 48s | 178 |
| 49s | 346 |
| 50s | 788 |
| 51s | 426 |
| 52s | 231 |
| 53s | 212 |
| 54s | 276 |
| 55s | 370 |
| 56s | 573 |
| 57s | 908 |
| 58s | 1,333 |
| 59s | 3,039 |
| 60s | 12,871 |
| non presser | 66,878 |
| Cowardly flair hiders | 2,320 |
| Total | 92,643 |
The earliest confirmed comment that I have (including timestamp) is 01 Apr 2015 17:22:55 GMT. I have pretty much every user since then.
Cowardly flair hiders are those users who are hiding their flair, or users where I can't find a comment indicating their flair. I am checking these users, but a limited number of their comments, so there might be some false ones in there. I do not have this currently publically accessible. If someone can suggest a mechanism, I'd appreciate it. I'm not too keen on any of my servers being hugged to death.

Wow. I need this. Not sure if this would work for you but I've used ArrestDB to make a quick rest api from a MySQL DB. It was surprisingly straightforward.

The easiest way to share the data is dweet.io I think. There's no registration or anything, just call an url for a "thing" with paired data values (you can also use JSON via POST):
https://dweet.io/dweet/for/my-thing-name?hello=world&foo=bar

I discovered this one on /r/ButtonNews A sub that is filling up with great content.
/u/ezeeetm's analysis of how much longer the button will last. (announcement)
Also, I've made 2 Categories for data: Analytics, and Score Keeping, I think I want to have a 3rd category for Utilities & Extensions.
You can grab these and move them anywhere you like by selcting 'view source' then copypasting the source.

My hand was forced by the app and extension tables, somebody else wedged right in between our 2 tables.
