| fadetoone said: That would work... the worry there is that PSNProfiles doesn't generally have the most up to date info. I've noticed mine updates automatically sometimes, but other times not. It's possible the script could kick off the update process, I guess. The script I had made might be a good starting point, if either of us can find it. |
I just spent this past week teaching myself Python and developing a web scraping script to gather data from PSNProfiles. All of this was done under the faulty assumption that profiles tracked on the site were updated at least once a week. This isn't the case for every profile though. Some appear to update on a weekly basis, and others can go months without updating.
It's not a huge loss though, as I've developed another script that gathers data from the PSN friends page on playstation.com page. It just requires a few extra manual steps (logging in to each account and saving the page locally), but overall it's a huge time saver.
