Two Etsy sellers (who choose to remain anonymous) took the initiative to create Etsy statistics (daily sales by the hour, listings vs sales by the hour, and top sellers) using Etsy’s API. There has been a small debate in the thread before stellaloella chimed in.

Well, this is certainly interesting and innovative. :)Just to clear up some confusion that’s occurring in this thread:
www.etsytools.com is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com or Etsy, Inc.
EtsyTools.etsy.com is NOT a member of our staff, just a community member here. They should disclose their other shop name(s) in their profile though to comply with out DOs & DON’Ts. Additionally, advertising services may not be sold on Etsy.
Our API is not yet public for use by third-party developers.

I hope it wasn’t removed due to continued harassment. I looked for a cached version on google, but there’s only the current version and no cached version, which is odd.

The seller half of the EtsyTools duo has now removed her post from August 8th.

I really hope they do some top seller lists by category! That would be very interesting.
