StatPack

The Geocaching Australia StatPack is designed to allow you to create your own statistics.

There are currently three files in the StatPack: cachers.csv, caches.csv and logs.csv. At the time of writing, the cachers.csv file was about 15kb, caches file was about 800kb and the logs file was 6mb, so please keep this in mind and try not to download it more than once a day. The StatPack is located here.

All of the records in the file are double-quote encapsulated with the exception of the header record. Some special characters such as double quotes and single quotes are escaped with the UNIX \ character. There is a header record contained in the file which describes the field names. This header record in not double-quote encapsulated.

• The cachers.csv file contains records for each member at geocaching.com.au that have registered a country and state in their profile. At the time of writing, this was not 100% of all members.
