Board Game Arena

Hi BGA, thanks for having this platform for boardgames! I've brought a large number of my offline gaming friends onto BGA, and we are particularly interested in tracking game results and scores of particular games that we play against each other here.

I know the https://boardgamearena.com/gamestats page can display game data, but it only shows 10 at a time, and will quickly require lots of clicking and scrolling. Filtering by date would help a little, except that's currently broken . However this is still awkward, fiddly, and not fun to do for 4+ players weekly or more (not to mention copy-paste into a spreadsheet, de-duplicate games, etc).

My suggestion?

What would really help a lot is some easy way to export game data or import into Google sheets — either via export functionality (e.g. CSV), an API endpoint, or (least best) scraping the Game Stats web page . Scraping is the worst option, but it's at least workable if we can at least get a full list (ideally via a URL param, or less ideally indexing pagination via URL param).

I list out various options (and offer to help the devs myself) in https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=15687. I think other players interested in analyzing their games would also appreciate a feature supporting this!

Thanks and we really appreciate all the hard work keeping this site running!

You might want to try scraping https://boardgamearena.com/player?section=lastresults
True, you will have to run the scraper from each player's login, but it may give better information in a more consistent format.

I'd like this.

Thanks brisdaz! Please upvote the suggestion I posted then — Export/View full game history (unpaginated)

(as well as anyone else who wants this too!)

I added my upvote. I download csv files and dump into Excel all the time. It's very easy to manipulate the data once you have it. I would love to be able to download from here. I would like to be able to track the games I've played and the achievements for each such as have I played 5, won my 1st game, etc.

I second this, also because the filter by date is broken, as per bug report.
