Importing stats into Agent-stats
So, now that we've got this great way to import our stats into agent-stats, I was wondering if we could get an additional feature:
The ability to automatically and retroactively import our stats from the start of our Ingress adventure. Like a snapshot daily/weekly/bi-weekly to fill our agent-stats and get prettier graphs.
I've added my stats a lot, but due to a bug on iOS, screenshots on redacted were not possible for a long time. So my stats are missing a lot of data-points to get pretty graphs. I also didn't care about maintaining agent-stats until after L9 or something.
Shouldn't be too hard to get this data from the database I feel, we could also use GDPR request to get all our data, but that isn't really something we can import into agent-stats easily.

I would say there's basically no chance that any of that historic data is still in the database.
Why not? - However, there is a separate issue: Most stats are only generated on demand. This would make it computationally expensive to re-create historical stats.
Go request your data from NIA. You'd be surprised with all the data they have collected and saved.
If we download our data from NIA, I'm betting some smart person could extract it? I really wish I'd been more consistent with uploading stats and started from day one :(
I have requested for my own data and what i can say is that it is not possible to recreate historical data for all stats - except for maybe 2 or 3 of the stats which has time stamps on them. the rest doesn't have sufficient data other than a few flags. You don't even get portal ids.
That's very disappointing. I was contemplating trying to try this myself
