Strategus Archive

Automated archive of the Strategus Elo rankings. A GitHub Actions workflow scrapes the site daily and commits the results, and a static dashboard lets you browse the archive by date.

How It Works

• strategus-scrape.py runs a headless Chrome session, reads the ranking table, and appends the rows to ranking_history.csv.
• The ranking date is derived from the JSON timestamp (UTC), so it's consistent regardless of the host's locale.
• A scheduled GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/workflow.yml) runs the scraper daily and commits any new data.

View

Open ckfaraday.github.io/strategus-archive/ to view the archive. It fetches the CSV and lets you pick a date to display that day's rankings.

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Selenium

Local Usage

pip install -r requirements.txt
python strategus-scrape.py

This appends today's ranking data from strategus.appspot.com and appends them to the ranking_history.csv file if the data for this date does not already exist.
