I am considering whether it would be useful to incorporate Natively scores on my manga frequency list website, which covers over 1,200 manga series (and growing).
My thought on extracting scores is to:
Utilize Natively’s browse page, as I can maximize scores obtained while minimizing server requests. (While keeping in mind the known issue where Natively doesn’t return results on higher search page numbers.)
Edit: Looks like level 24 has too many entries for this to work, so a different method such as downloading per-series pages would be necessary.
Space out downloads, such as one request per 5 seconds (or longer).
Store results locally (on my server) and only download updated results occasionally, such as once per month.
If this sounds like a bad idea, whether because you’d rather not the stats be used for a whole site in this way, or because you have concerns about mass-downloading so many pages, or otherwise, I’ll understand completely.
I’ll only give this a try if you say it sounds good.
