Excellent analysis!! Your final curve is all that any potential buyer should look at. (One caveat though... buyers may want to pay up for a jersey number serial)
Appreciate it! I scraped the data from the raw HTML after loading the page using Python. Works for this one-off analysis, but I wouldn't recommend it for repeatedly getting listings -- good way to get banned by TopShot. I then did all the analysis using Python, specifically Pandas and Matplotlib for creating the charts.
Gotcha, thanks! Don’t the third party tracking apps scrape the data though? Do they have official permission or something? What makes you think they’ll ban potentially, TOS?
Yeah, I haven't looked at the details, but it's probably in the TOS. These third party tracking apps either get away with it, or likely are just reading directly off the Flow blockchain as every listing, sale, mint, etc is publicly available.
Great analysis. With a little ingenuity, you can actually put together a very rudimentary version of this using Excel (for all the non data analyst/engineers out there.

Exactly. So much simpler when you're able to filter out the moments that you should objectively never consider buying.
I like this but you should flip the axis
Hey! Love the article. Which software did you use and which method of pulling data? I’d love to try and replicate. Thanks a bunch.

Hi, great stuff!! Really amazing job!! :) could you let me know how did you extract the info?
