Getting to Help is not easy these days, obfuscated to say the least, but it's the extract thru your API in xml format: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/search.s?searchString=API that borgs. Presently it's result MCM1_0183910_0484_1 where the fail occurs and then OPN1_0086147_00983_0 5 minutes later... random but certainly not the same Nth record in the extract..

Excel, script only pulls the returned results. The script for in progress works fine.

Edit: for good order, this morning I pulled a 'stable' backup from my cloud of October 13, ran the script and same problem... 'type mismatch', another result of course and long as I don't fetch a new set repeating the process always fails at same record. Note it does raw data pull, but the problem record's data then cannot be read into the database (table) as it baulks at a record that does show as text rather than numbers for the numeric fields, left aligned, as give away instead of right aligned..

There are other BOINC projects out there even if you had a frustration with this one. A snarky response is not a mature reaction.

They are in the middle of a transition and Kevin is quite busy and would have a hard time tracking various threads strewn about the forums. The better option would be to email support@worldcommunitygrid.org which will create a case that they can track. But you've decided to quit over an API of all things so it looks like it's too late for that.

I read this thread and I don't get it. It's none of my business of course and I don't want to start a flame war but quitting WCG because a result API has changed or does not work anymore. Really!! Really??

Yes I'm upset (more than upset) that the overview page is void of any good information like it use to but dropping WCG for that. Huh?

My 4 machines are still chugging away like they use to but I miss my morning fix of seeing how I was doing. It only lasted 27 seconds. Those three 14-day graphs (points, WUs done, and hours).

What's with these results which are so pressing? It seems that they must be quasi-real time. What do people do with these stats? Am I missing something which I should know of? What are the consequences of not having those results stats?

I keep my own in a spreadsheet. It was a copy/paste (one for each machine and one for total) and now it's 5 downloads. OK so it was more cumbersome to find and I now only do it every 10-12 days.

Maybe if I had many many machines to look after it would be a different story but like adriverhoef (mentioned above) who took weeks to reprogram his scripts I would adapt.
