nCore Profile Tracker

A simple Go project to scrape and track profile statistics (rank, upload, download, points) on nCore, the largest Hungarian BitTorrent tracker. The stats are displayed on a basic web interface and saved as JSON for historical tracking.

Features

• Scrapes and logs profile stats from nCore.
• Serves a simple HTML dashboard to display the latest data.
• Provides a JSON API to fetch historical profile data.
• Automatically updates data every 24 hours.

Setup

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/skidoodle/trackncore.git
   cd trackncore
   

2. Create a .env file with your nCore credentials:

   NICK=your_nick
   PASS=your_password
   

3. Add the profiles.json file, which contains your profile IDs:

   {
     "alice": "69",
     "bob": "420"
   }
   

How to obtain NICK and PASS

• Open the developer tools in your browser (F12), go to the "Network" tab.
• Log in using "lower security" mode.
• Find the login.php request in the network activity.
• In the response headers, locate the Set-Cookie header, which will contain nick= and pass= values.
• Copy those values and add them to your .env file.
