BOINC Project Extractor
Pricing
from $0.35 / 1,000 records
Point at ANY BOINC volunteer-computing project (PrimeGrid, Einstein@Home, Rosetta@Home, yoyo@home, NFS@Home) and extract its public XML: applications & versions, server status & daemons, or the user/team/host stats exports. Sniffs the body, gunzips file-gzip stats. One uniform runner.
The master URL of ANY BOINC volunteer-computing project. The actor appends the chosen mode's path (e.g. /apps.php?xml=1). Every BOINC project (PrimeGrid, Einstein@Home, Rosetta@Home, yoyo@home, NFS@Home, …) exposes the SAME public XML endpoints. Verified live: https://www.primegrid.com (apps), https://einsteinathome.org (apps), https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs (open stats). A URL that returns HTML / 401 / a body missing the expected BOINC root fails fast (never emits empty).
Which BOINC XML surface to extract. 'apps' (default) → one row per application version (clean, always present). 'serverStatus' → one row per daemon + a summary row. 'userStats'/'teamStats'/'hostStats' → the gzipped stats exports, one row per user/team/host (high-volume; note some projects such as PrimeGrid/Einstein auth-wall their stats, so use 'apps'/'serverStatus' on those).
Stop after emitting this many rows. Stats exports are large (Rosetta's user export is ~1.4M rows), so the default caps generously; parsing streams so the cap is honored without loading the whole export. Each emitted row is billed as one record; the trailing metadata record is not billed.
Override the default browser-ish User-Agent header. Some projects require a real UA + redirect follow to serve the endpoint.
