I applaud the great effort that AHSpy is making, and trust me I know how much it takes to get even a fraction of such a thing going. It looks great!

Another one I find useful, is theunderminejournal site. Very much a similar thing in relation to AHSpy.

I can only imagine the phenomenal amount of data harvesting going on to gather up such information to process.

That's something that doesn't get talked about, is the load all these requests must make on a data server. I know a few years ago, the wowarmory was throttled, and if you requested too fast, you got locked out for a day. I hope the API docs give you some suggestion how to avoid such problems.
