Best Way To Track Data?

[Kev 69]

Hi all,

Working on a project right now and just mulling over how I might approach this data watch, given that ubot v5.7 npw has the graph feature (not used yet - still on v4 but might swap).

 

I am tracking prices of several items. The URL to each item is always static. However the price of the item will fluctuate (think an ebay auction).

What I am pondering over is the way I'll save this data.

I would track every day for 7 days and each day I would add the price to a spreadsheet along with the URL.

 

So,

DAY,URL,Price
0, www.google.com, $1.50

1,www.google.com,$1.55

etc

 

Now, I am tracking several products not just one, so I could add them all to one spreadsheet and then simply sort as needed.

 

But, what other ways are there?

 

I'd love to make a fancy graph out of the data, too

Look into working with sqlite databases. For graphing, look into d3.js.

I don't think someone has a script for this yet. Good luck here.
