Comments Statistics
By femboy_routine, history, 2 years ago, In English

Hello, Codeforces!

Today i gathered some statistics about comments, and I'm going to present them to you.

Midway through writing this post, I discovered that there is a website called codeforces.comment.statistic. The author, Igorjan94, has done much more than i did and you can check out theirs blog, its absolutely epic. They also created a type-script SDK for CF, which is even more epic.

The data pool consisted only of comments from all the blogs on the main page. That means that only a small portion of all blogs were used. I didn't find a good method to get all blogs from all users.

Data pool

  • Blogs amount: $$$2059$$$
  • Comments amount: $$$297853$$$
  • *Root comments: $$$117293$$$

*Root comments are comments that are not a reply to another comment

If anyone needs the data pool, DM me; I will give it for free. It includes the reply-depth of the comment on top of the API's default comment JSON structure.

Have a nice day, and feel free to down-vote as this post is not really useful.

I am profoundly grateful for your efforts in crafting this — it is indeed a privilege of the highest order to find my name included in this distinguished list.

    I love to see someone from top 5 standings!

    I did all of data gathering in matter of 2 hours and then i spent a lot of time writing the post itself.

You can scrap all comments/blogs from codeforces API just by simple oneliner:

    First of all, epic.

    I have read all of your blogs, and it seams that you have made much more than I have. You definitely deserve more recognition.

    I thought about this way of scraping every blog, but i wasn't sure if it was okay to send 100k requests to the API. I guess it is fine as long as it is doing 1 req/2 seconds. I have some ideas, i will DM you later.
