Each week for 26 weeks I would put aside one day to chip away at the features. So you wanted to crunch some data...and instead of spending 3-4 hours setting up the API properly...you instead spent 26 days writing an unofficial hack? It seems like what you really wanted was to spend 26 days on a coding hobby, not actually crunching some data.
