So... what is your StackOverflow score?

Question

This is a simple one. Given the input of a number, return the name and reputation score of the Stack Overflow user with that given ID. Your program can assume that it is always given a valid and existent user ID.

For example: given the input 764357 (which is my userID on StackOverflow) the program would return LegoStormtroopr 3,088 (approximately) it might change.

You get the URL: "https://stackoverflow.com/users/" or "http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/" for free, so your score is length of your program - 31 or 39, depending on which URL you use - but declare which it is. This prevents people from abusing URL shorteners.

edit: And no calling a custom made API that query Stack Overflow, and returns just the name and score. But if you know of an offical API, then that is totally legitimate.

edit2: If you need an example input: I've given my ID below, feel free to add your own ID, username and score below to help others out. Note again, this is for the main Stack Overflow site.

764357   returns   LegoStormtroopr 3,088

Answer 1

Shell script: 64 51 characters

curl -sL http://stackoverflow.com/users/`cat`|grep -oPm2 'n">\K[0-9,]+|e">\K[^<]+'

Sample run:

bash-4.1$ curl -sL http://stackoverflow.com/users/`cat`|grep -oPm2 'n">\K[0-9,]+|e">\K[^<]+'
662504
manatwork

bash-4.1$ curl -sL http://stackoverflow.com/users/`cat`|grep -oPm2 'n">\K[0-9,]+|e">\K[^<]+'
764357
Lego Stormtroopr
3,087

(Note that you have to press ^D after typing in the input interactively. Or just pipe it to the command.)

Ruby: 84 70 characters

s=open("http://stackoverflow.com/users/"+gets).read
puts s[/me">(.+)</,1],s[/n">([\d,]+)/,1]

Sample run:

bash-4.1$ ruby -ropen-uri -e 's=open("http://stackoverflow.com/users/"+gets).read;puts s[/me">(.+)</,1],s[/n">([\d,]+)/,1]' <<< '662504'

bash-4.1$ ruby -ropen-uri -e 's=open("http://stackoverflow.com/users/"+gets).read;puts s[/me">(.+)</,1],s[/n">([\d,]+)/,1]' <<< '764357'

Answer 3

Python 2.7 - 119

(150 - 31)

Without regex:

from urllib import*
s=urlopen("http://stackoverflow.com/users/%d"%input()).read()
p=str.split 
print p(p(s,'r ')[1],' -')[0],p(p(s,'ore">')[1],'<')[0]

Answer 4

Python 3, 117

117 = 148 - 31

I don't think searching in plain HTML source code will lead to strong solution. For example, some weird stuff in one's profile may break your solutions. So I'd like to search using CSS selectors.

from lxml.html import*
C=parse('http://stackoverflow.com/users/'+input()).getroot().cssselect
print(C('[id^=u]')[0].text,C('[class$=ore]')[0].text)

Answer 5

Javascript 217

Heres a ungolfed Javascript Version using the official api with JSONP, to start with . Using the url would require XHR, which sould be quite verbose, if i find some time i'll try a more golfed version though.

d=document;function f(a){y=a.items[0];alert(y.display_name+" "+y.reputation)}x=d.createElement("script");x.src="https://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/"+prompt()+"?site=stackoverflow&callback=f";d.body.appendChild(x)

Answer 6

Perl 5 (with Mojolicious), 87 - 31 = 56 bytes

say/h1.*>(.*)</,$/,/core">(.*?)</ for g("http://stackoverflow.com/users/".pop)->dom

Sample run:

$ perl -Mojo -E 'say/h1.*>(.*)</,$/,/core">(.*?)</ for g("http://stackoverflow.com/users/".pop)->dom' 764357
Lego Stormtroopr
3,103

Readable & clean: 128 - 31 = 97 bytes

say $_->at("#user-displayname")->text, ": ", $_->at(".reputation a")->text for g("http://stackoverflow.com/users/".pop)->dom

Sample run:

$ perl -Mojo -E 'say $_->at("#user-displayname")->text, ": ", $_->at(".reputation a")->text for g("http://stackoverflow.com/users/$ARGV[0]")->dom' 764357
Lego Stormtroopr: 3,103

Answer 7

R: 150-31=119

f=function(i){S=function(x)strsplit(grep(x,scan(paste0("http://stackoverflow.com/users/",i),"",sep="\n"),v=T)[1],">|<")[[1]][3];cat(S("h1"),S("=re"))}

Quite simply picks the first lines containing h1 (for the name) and =re (for the score) using grep with argument value=TRUE (here v=T) and then split the string (using strsplit at characters > and <. Inconveniently it queries the page twice (hence the two "Read n items" warnings) but that was shorter.

Answer 8

Tcl, (231 - 39) 192

not the shortest way, but using the official API

package r http
package r json
set d [lindex [dict get [json::json2dict [http::data [http::geturl http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/$argv?site=stackoverflow]]] items] 0]
puts [dict get $d display_name]\ [dict get $d reputation]

And in spirit of the original question:

package r http
package r json
set c [dict get [json::json2dict [http::data [http::geturl http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/?order=desc&sort=reputation&site=stackoverflow&min=$argv&max=$argv]]] items]
foreach d $c {puts "[dict get $d display_name] [dict get $d reputation]"}

Finds users with that reputation

Answer 9

Shorter CoffeeScript: 143 characters (182 - 39)

This relies on the API always returning the object keys in the same order, but shaves off 7 characters.

f=(r)->u=Object.keys(items[0]);alert u[3]+' '+u[5]
d=document
j=d.createElement('script')
j.src="//api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/"+prompt()+'?site=diy&jsonp=f'
d.body.appendChild j

CoffeeScript: 150 characters (189 - 39)

f=(r)->u=r.items[0];alert u.display_name+' '+u.reputation
d=document
j=d.createElement('script')
j.src="//api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/"+prompt()+'?site=diy&jsonp=f'
d.body.appendChild j

(Note that the program prompts you for "undefined" -- it's asking for the User ID.)

Answer 10

R - 84

84 = 115 - 31

sub(".*\\/(.*)\\?.*>(.*)<.*","\\1 \\2",grep("b=r",scan(paste0("http://stackoverflow.com/users/",scan(n=1)),""),v=T)[1])

Simulation:

> sub(".*\\/(.*)\\?.*>(.*)<.*","\\1 \\2",grep("b=r",scan(paste0("http://stackoverflow.com/users/",scan(n=1)),""),v=T)[1])
1: 1201032

Answer 11

101 100 - CoffeeScript with jQuery

$.getJSON "http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/#{prompt()}?site=stackoverflow",(d)->alert [d.items[0].reputation,d.items[0].display_name]

Here's a fiddle; just know that it prompts you when you first open the page, so have a ID ready, or press Run again.

Or we can be super hacky to save a whole character!

$.getJSON "http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/#{prompt()}?site=stackoverflow",(d)->`with(d.items[0])alert([reputation,display_name])`;1

Answer 12

Python 2.7 - 112

112 = 143 - 31

A newer, short version that uses some of the ideas from Steven Rumbalski answer, while still using Regex.

import urllib,re
r=re.findall('r (.*?) -|re">(.*?)<',urllib.urlopen("http://stackoverflow.com/users/%d"%input()).read())
print r[0][0],r[2][1]

133 = 164 - 31

Here is a base version for people to work from, but I'm sure people can get even shorter.

import urllib,re
u=input()
s=urllib.urlopen("http://stackoverflow.com/users/%d"%u).read()
r=re.findall('name.*?>(.*?)</h1|tion.?>(.*?)</a',s)
print r[0][0],r[1][1]

GNU Awk: 217 characters

Just because GNU awk supports TCP natively: no module/library/external tool.

{RS="\r"
print h("/users/"$0,$0,"/",4),h($2,$2"\\?","<|>",3)}function h(p,m,r,f){d="stackoverflow.com"
g="/inet/tcp/0/"d"/80"
print"GET "p" HTTP/1.1\nHost:"d"\n"|&g
close(g,"to")
while(g|&getline)if($0~m){close(g,"from")
split($0,a,r)
return a[f]}}

Sample run:

bash-4.1$ awk '{RS="\r";print h("/users/"$0,$0,"/",4),h($2,$2"\\?","<|>",3)}function h(p,m,r,f){d="stackoverflow.com";g="/inet/tcp/0/"d"/80";print"GET "p" HTTP/1.1\nHost:"d"\n"|&g;close(g,"to");while(g|&getline)if($0~m){close(g,"from");split($0,a,r);return a[f]}}' <<< 662504
