How is it updated hourly? Did you write your own crawler to pull the data?

More info here:

. Not much to it--the script uses BeautifulSoup to scrape user count, and an Openshift app runs the script hourly as a cronjob.

I don't see the scraper (the BeautifulSoup script) at that repo. Did I miss it or is it not committed?
