# Aptera Data

Extract the investor ranking data from Aptera Motor's Accelerator

Program status page.  This code is hacky, but the Accelerator program

will cease in O(months), so there's no need to make it more robust.

The program in `aptera-data.py` scans the web page at

 for information like the backend XHR

server, and the makes XHR requests to obtain the table data from the

Microsoft Power BI backend.  The table data is written as CSV to

standard output, to be used in the spreadsheet at

 to compute statistics

like the expected time until the program ends, etc.  This replaces the

previous method for extracting this data, which was simply a

copy-n-paste from the leaderboard status page to the acceleration

statistics/graphs page.  Selecting all rows from the Power BI page

took many minutes and became untenable as the Accelerator program got

to over ~800 entries.

The program in `aptera-poll.sh` is used in a shell to let me know when

to update the spreadsheet.  It is another quick-and-dirty hack.  The

spreadsheet data upload and cut-n-paste are still manual operations.
