Background Info

I have extracted the data using api.steemit.com and the following api call:

payload = '{"id":4,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"call","params":["database_api","get_discussions_by_created", [{"tag":"' + tag + '","limit":100}]]}'



I am using pandas library. Pandas is an open source and is designed for Python users for data analysis and manipulation.

Thanks for pulling this together. The data paints a clear picture!

I am glad you find it useful!

I will tell my friend to following your contest

Thank you! @photocontests has been designed and is curated by @juliank! It is the only contest to have so many winners as well!

Thank you @rimicane! This really is interesting information. I would love to see more participation in the #sportsphotography theme, but I guess it will probably always be the least popular. Oh well...at least that gives me a better chance each week.

Exactly! You getting a spotlight every week! 😃
I am glad you made it to @qurator!
Well, at least this week seems to be less active with a lot of activity in minus compared with the last week = more chances for everyone involved!

Ha! I do like winning every week, but I have mixed feelings. I really would like to see more participation in that theme. Maybe seeing this data will encourage more people to enter since the odds are better than some of the other contests.

...and I do like @qurator. I have only been on it for about a week, but I'm so glad I found it.

Ok, it's a deal! I will have to add my entry on Saturday! 😁

Alright...game on!

Цифры впечатляют!

All I got from this is... WOW that is a lot of photos to go through. Makes me appreciate and be grateful for so many hours invested in the contest. Thanks a lot!

You are welcome! Photocontests is a huge thing! Everyone is participating!
