I created some statistic graphs. The statistics are based on the last week. The statistics show activity on devrant. See comments.

Does anyone know if the API is limited to data of a week or so? I can't get more out of it than 114 rants.

Per weekday

Per day. Monday most rants! Who did expect that?

Per hour, apparently many people are ranting during work time. Shame on you guys! But most in the evening, after work.

I made this statistics with:

- python

- matplotlib

- python devrant api written by a guy named Rohan Burke (coolq). It's very minimal lib, exactly what i needed. Many others suck (having url builders and shit. Relax..)

The images are png's.

It's nicely organized, see screenshot.

In python it's possible to generate executables that execute a function in your python project. So i did not make an app per stat..

Work time on what planet? Some of us are not working from home ;)

Observations are more important than statistics and Interpretations can be misleading.

Have fun.

@chatgpt what is the difference between observations and statistics?

@retoor
Observations refer to specific pieces of data or information that are directly recorded or witnessed, while statistics involve the analysis and interpretation of data through methods such as calculation, estimation, and comparison. Observations are the raw data points collected through direct observation or measurement, while statistics are the summarized and analyzed information derived from those observations. In other words, observations are the individual data points, while statistics are the aggregated and processed results of a collection of observations.

Ah, so my raw devrant export are the observations. Sounds logic

@retoor

Data->observation.

Have fun.

@bazmd i do know the difference between that. Data is anything (stuff to be labeled) and observations do already have their label probably.

@chatgpt what is the difference between data and observations?

@retoor
Data refers to raw facts, quantities, characters, or symbols which have not been interpreted, while observations are specific instances or events that have been seen, witnessed, or detected. Essentially, observations are a type of data that has already been recorded or perceived.
