If @7hawk77 and @Noppadet can make a webscraper that harvests TPE data, can't it be modified to collect attribute data? As long as all player pages are kept in a strict formatting, couldn't it work after some wrangling?
This was something I was thinking about. Unsure, probably take way more time than the TPE scraper we did. That only needed to scrape like 20-24 pages. Getting updates will always have to scrape the number of pages that the number of players exist.
Basically it's complicated. I think a better solution would be to create some kind of character updater on a separate website... but that comes with all kinds of other complications.
