I'm looking for some simple code (e.g. Python, Go, C, Perl, Java, etc.) to scrape blocks to JSON / text. I don't want the transactions, I want the block data. E.g. the "Raw Block" data from
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/gap/block.dws?688423.htm.
gapcoin.org went down but was still doing the scraping for a while, but that stopped as well after a while and nobody has submitted any records for Gapcoin for almost a year. If I have a good way to scrape the block data I can do regular submissions.
Gapcoin is down to 748 records (from 1102 at the beginning of the year and 1614 at its peak). The best Gapcoin merit is currently the 29th highest known, but it's possible there is a higher merit sitting in the blockchain.
Just to be clear, as long as the blockchain exists somebody with the skill can extract all the gaps? And also was wondering that about the other math coins that are similarly neglected primecoin, riecoin and there are others whose names I forget. The problem with submitting them late is only that the work might get done twice?
