Timeline
I added some metrics about the metrics exporter to the dashboard. I also learnt how to count the number of daydream events, so I added that to the dashboard (and some emojis because I think they actually look cool in this context).
I also wrote the all-important documentation for developing and deploying the tool.
I added a few command-line arguments to my tool (using argparse), to make it more flexible.
I also worked to reduce the number of unnecessary HTTP headers and URL parameter options in the request. Those that I had to keep, I moved to constants in another file, to keep the main code readable.
I learnt how to use the prometheus_client library in Python so that I could scrape the Daydream Sign Up Leaderboard and export it as Prometheus metrics!
I did some network request inspection to work out how to fetch the data from the Airtable view. Fortunately it wasn't too complex.
I also spent a bunch of time making a Grafana dashboard (not counted by Hackatime) to present the data :D
