Best Way to Access Full Folding@home Team Member Data?

[rotilho]

Hey everyone! I recently started using Folding@home as a way to distribute my cryptocurrency — trying to reward people who contribute computational power for meaningful purpose.

While asking in the Discord about how often the https://api.foldingathome.org/team/:team/members endpoint updates, someone kindly pointed out that this API has a hard limit of 1000 entries, which totally caught me off guard

I was then recommended to check out the https://apps.foldingathome.org/daily_te ... ry.txt.bz2 file instead, which does seem to contain everything — but it's huge! Before I commit to parsing that daily, I just wanted to double-check: is this the recommended approach for accessing complete team member data?

Appreciate any insights, and thanks to those who already helped out!

https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ is collecting and processing those files. The datebase on EOC does not keep track the full history, but you may wanna check it out anyway to see if it's of use to you.

Thanks, Paul! The folks behind EOC seem to be doing an awesome job — I'm personally a data freak.

However, since it’s a third-party service, I’ll probably still stick to parsing the official daily stats file for now, just to reduce the risk of middle-man.
