retrieving user's rating
Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 4:18 pmI'd like to sort entrants to my tournament by rating. So, what would be the easiest way to get a user's rating?
I figured writing a small python bot which for each user fetches a user-page, parses html and extracts rating, but I failed miserably because CC requires JavaScript to get a user-page and I'm using urllib2 and don't know how to fake JavaScript support.
My knowledge of CC APIs is nonexistent so I come here for a word of advice. Where should I look for a tool to make my script?
Thanks in advance,
