The example that was given is a little unlucky, but the intention was good. Members can use/write their own scripts to access the API.
The 'typical statistics lines' that you refer to haven't been updated since late February, so I fear they are somewhat useless at this moment.

If you really need your data, use wcgresults to download your results and wcglog to examine your results.

Here is a small example of how you can use wcglog:

$ for m in 4700U-ubuntu android_17e12be8;do echo Device $m:;for a in arp1 hst1 mcm1 opn1 opng;do wcglog -xE $m|wcglog -t1e $a;done;echo;done

Hi there.

it's been about 11 days since you announced the contributions page being top priority and I was wondering how it's going. Do you expect to be done soon or what's the status?

Thank you,
Robo

That still needs to be seen. Some people claim that the data is preserved and can be re-actively being processed, though I for one, am a bit more pessimistic about that possibility. The update you are seeing now is the change after one of the two daily stats runs. .
Yeah, of course. And not that I personally care, as that is as I previously mentioned, the most useless statistic. as it will just be a continous counter for anyone who regularily/daily is returning WUs, which is likely the vast majority of users...
At this point, nobody really knows, there are statements/opinions going both ways. Again, personally, I am less optimistic here, though I would be happy to be proven wrong...

Good to see that Last Result Returned is now showing Sept 30 and not way back in February and that History is showing results for the last two days. Up and downloading seems stable now too.

However no reflection of work done before Sept 29 which is worrying. Let's hope that is added later. Not interested in the Streaks.

Looks as though there has been some progress (fingers crossed).

on two separate occasions, once at start of shutdown and once a few weeks ago they stated this would've been preserved. Useless or not, we want it and this is not the result that was stated before or after the shutdown. We want what we were told we'll get. Not what you think is useful.
