Just with my laptop, storing the data in a PostgresDB. I’m using python picking from different repos that I found online. Happy to share more details

You going to make some cool metrics/dashboard or something? I imagine nostr is hard to map without something like this.
How are you doing relay discovery?
You just ping this endpoint and will retrieve all online relays https://api.nostr.watch/v1/online
I’ll do some stuff with that data .. not with a specific plan but I have some ideas
For now I collected all my follows pubkeys, their follows and their follows’ follows which totaled around 30k pubkeys
I finished querying online relays and I was able to extract 45 days of all events from those pubkeys from about 200 relays .. there were some relays I couldn’t connect and some that didn’t have any data
I will now explore things like: how my posts propagates in relays I didn’t publish.. or what are the relays with most of the activity or what are the pubkeys in those 30k that make 80% of the activity .. etc etc
So if you have any idea happy to consider including it
I may.. if I have time .. clean that script and make it public so others can play around if they want to download about 5 gb of events :)
