Question

I would like to make a nightly cron job that fetches my stackoverflow page and diffs it from the previous day’s page, so I can see a change summary of my questions, answers, ranking, etc.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the right set of cookies, etc, to make this work. Any ideas?

Also, when the beta is finished, will my status page be accessible without logging in?

Answer 1

Your status page is available now without logging in (click logout and try it). When the beta-cookie is disabled, there will be nothing between you and your status page.

For wget:

wget --no-cookies --header 'Cookie: soba=(LookItUpYourself)' https://stackoverflow.com/users/30/myProfile.html
