Just done the same thing! And I wanted raw earnings as well.
All I did was take their settings and divide all values by their normalisation factor. Not so hard, but it is a pain to keep up to date. Raw would be so much better. Simple python dictionary.
tmb_n = {}
tmb_n['scrypt'] = 1.000
tmb_n['nscrypt'] = 0.470
tmb_n['x11'] = 5.500
tmb_n['x13'] = 3.800
tmb_n['x15'] = 3.400
tmb_n['nist5'] = 16.500
I check every 5 minutes, then if the difference is more than 5% I will switch. If less than 5% I leave it run.
I also added a check against NiceHash with a view to adding code to switch pool if needed but so far NiceHash never beats the reported TMB numbers. For example:

How about an API call for raw (non normalized) BTC/Day/Mhash earnings per algorithm?
I'm planning to extend my autoswitcher (currently works with NiceHash) to support TradeMyBit. To make it work correctly I need the non-normalized earnings per algorithm as I factor in hash rates myself to get the best bang for the hash. The "bestalgo" call has the format I want, but it currently has normalized values. If another key/value pair could be added per algorithm for the non-normalized values this would work great.
De-normalizing will probably be my workaround as well. Unfortunately it means the users have to update those values every time the pool changes the normalization factors.
When comparing NiceHash to TMB are you also factoring in the 2% withdrawl fee on TMB? I'm curious myself to see how the two services stack up but it will be a week or two before I have everything wired up as I don't have a lot of time to work on side projects.
