Seems like there should be a way to catch that, but I would assume that would require for you to make requests for everyday, rather than just when there was a recorded change. Probably would bog down the server.

Notably Darkpie has taken 1st on the RT ladder but never got a mention there. Is it because he doesn't have the trophy?

@Ox Yeah, he didnt hold it until the point the ladder updates. Sometime around 1:30am gmt I think is when the ladder updates.

Nah, it's pretty easy to catch while I traverse the array. There'd be a skipped day if someone left the ladder and came back, something like: [[69, 1, 1920], [420, 1, 1919],... ]

Right now it records climbs whenever someone goes from a rank that's not #1 to #1. I just need to adjust that condition to recording when someone hits rank #1 or when their previous recorded day wasn't just one less than their current day.

Not challenging at all, but I'm just rewriting the code to make it less hacky first since I need a version of it anyway for IPL.

I never claimed it was challenging(I don't actually understand web interface coding at all, as I have only really ever coded in Java, with a very light amount of python and JS), I guess your solution wouldn't bog down the server as much as my idea would.

There would be no additional load on the server as no extra queries are needed. All the information I need can be found in the data I'm already obtaining.
