How often do the team_summary and user_summary files update?

Post by agrikk »

Is there a frequency with which the daily_user_summary.txt and daily_team_summary.txt files update? Or is the file created in real time with the latest statistics whenever someone downloads it?

I am rebuilding my stats page and I'm rethinking how often I should pull the data. Over the years I have pulled it at various frequencies and am wondering how frequently I should pull the data these days.

The last I heard was every 3 hours. At one time it was at once an hour, but there were problems with loads on the stats server.

Please be sure to pull the data from the flatfiles developed specifically for code like yours. A database search is VERY expensive.

I am pulling the flat files once every three hours and ingesting those flat files into a database and performing queries against that database if that's what you mean.
