Is this using the API, or does it just scrape the user page? – jjnguy Sep 07 '10 at 22:53

I'm 100% geek? No surprise here :) – Nathan Osman Sep 08 '10 at 00:37
I don't know I think the numbers need a little more adjusting... Seems a little too easy if you ask me. – Sep 08 '10 at 05:09
@jjnguy I am requesting JSON data and parsing out data from that. @thyrgle Yup, its very simple. I have just started learning Ruby and Rails, was built over a weekend. – zengr Sep 08 '10 at 06:12
@zengr Ok. Why are you requesting that people enter their entire URL, instead of just their ID? – jjnguy Sep 09 '10 at 01:57
Please follow the rule given here: http://stackapps.com/q/7/2951 – chanchal1987 Sep 09 '10 at 14:07
@jjnguy Yes, actually, I did not find a way to look up a user's data using their username, but I needed their unique ID (eg: 231917 and not zengr). Is there a workaround? – zengr Sep 09 '10 at 23:27
@chanchal1987 Updated. – zengr Sep 09 '10 at 23:29
usernames (display_name) is not unique thus not a valid target for a programmatic lookup. You will need to provide a search-and-select workflow for this. Something similar to http://stackapps.com/questions/1344/ – Sky Sanders Sep 10 '10 at 01:22
Yup, I prefer one step rather than two. – zengr Sep 10 '10 at 04:41
Could also use: number of commits, number of people who forked one of my repos. – Nicolas Raoul Sep 14 '10 at 06:50
