This application collects data and stores it in a local database, letting you view it any time you wish.
This is called 'Account Database Suite' by me. It allows you to, using an account (shell or any spare you have), visit Neopets (currently only the NeoBoards) and collect usernames. After that, the usernames collected will be added to the internal database that comes with the program. Your database will store all usernames, and from that username list the program will allow you to visit every username and automatically collect the userlookup details (trophies, avatar/neodeck/stamp count, pet images and stats, etc.) into the database (in text form, so you are not using very much hard disk space!) for viewing at your leisure.
Yes, this program acts very similar to Google's cache system. No, you cannot use this program to out anyone since anyone can edit the database file. I did not encrypt the file for that very reason.
When installing:There are two setups in the installer. The first one is quick and will install this program. The second one might take a few more seconds to go through - It is the requirement package for the database!
Program Features:
-) cK Authorization (VIP membership only)
-) Front-end interface to view user lookups
-) All data is stored locally (text-only to save your disk space)
-) Saves most user data including all pet images + stats, avatar/trophy/neodeck/stamp/etc. count, trophy images, and more
-) For safety, browses Neopets in between updating the database
-) Grabs usernames from NeoBoards
-) Optional update user if entry already exists for the day
-) Optional delete user from master user list if frozen/banned
-) Application delay between X and X milliseconds
-) Update a single user for that day
-) Optional save Neopets login
-) Master log displaying program actions
-) Total users in database count displayed
-) Handy progress bar and status label
v1.1.2 Updates:
-) Added "Scrape High Scores" feature. Collect usernames from the high score tables!
-) Displays how many new users are added to your database each time you scrape/import
is this a local hosted database or something you host?
It's an SQLite database and it is on your own computer. It's a small file size - only text is stored into it. Everything is quick. This is not an online database like JellyNeo's Item DB, so it's quick to retrieve and submit data.
You can have a text file (each line is a username) and if you import that, it is all added to the DB (unique users only).
------
If you're wondering, running the NeoBoard grabber will fetch about 3500 users. If you then update the database after fetching then you will get all of their lookups saved on your computer - in roughly 5mb? That's extremely small. I am also working on making the data smaller.
That's pretty sweet. Gonna give this a go when I get a chance. Definitely something different that I've never seen anywhere else. Good stuff, Joe!
What's my definition of success? Creating something no one else can Being brave enough to dream big Grindin' when you're told to just quit Giving more when you got nothin' left
This works phenomenally, took about 2 hours to scrape the neoboards and load the users to the database. Great program and works very quickly after you have the names scraped.
