Henceforth please place all of your formulas (and script etc) inside a <pre> element. This will make my job of scraping all the formulas out of the forum for testing my formula parser much easier and the formulas will be easier to read in a monospace font:

- MCFNeil9 years agoQrew CaptainAre you using the community API or a console to scrape the forum? You have my attention.
And sorry I forget sometimes to put the equations on the <pre> element. - _anomDiebolt_9 years agoQrew EliteI don't know what the community API is. Is that a thing?
I am going to scrape formulas from:
(1) the entire forum
(2) all applications in the Exchange
(3) every client application for which I have permission to harvest from
(4) applications from users in other quadrants whose QuickBase technology adoption has terraformed at a faster rate than here on Earth
As well as offering a script to users to extract all of their formulas in their account or a specific application. The only trick here is that I can't use the API because it is very unlikely random users have a common API key set up across all of their assets. - MCFNeil9 years agoQrew CaptainDan,
Just in case you wanted to scrape thing out even more.

I feel like the moderators are not doing a very good job marking things as answered so it clears the list and people can find the answer easily.
Alas,
