how do I get a up to date count without image

[+mtrax]

I know there is a "stat bar" but is there a rss or another page which will give me finds and hides stats via web call?

ie is there a web page which shows a text version of my finds? (totals etc)

In a word, no. The stat button is the only method GC.com provides to show off your stats elsewhere.

Maybe I don't understand the questions, but have you tried:

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=mtrax

and

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=mtrax

The numbers you seek are on these pages in text format.

I am also interested in a web service, but one which provides the cacher's handle, find count, and hide count. Some weeks ago, I emailed a lackey to pass along this request to Groundspeak.

 

My interest in such a matter deals with the Statbar Modifier service I created, which takes a user's live gc.com statbar, puts the user's or organization's logo on it, adjusts the width to accommodate for larger user quotes, and reapplies the black border. I developed it because there was a demand for such a service and someone made a request to me in person. The service is free and available to everyone and anyone can email me to add a G-rated logo.

 

My goal is to continue developing the Statbar Modifier to the point where it rivals the terracaching one: nice background images and the user's stats at a user-defined place within the image. To do so, I need a text-based way of getting those three pieces of information via a user's GUID. A web service would be ideal.

Although it's the number of CACHES you've logged, not the number of logs with a , which if done multiple times on a single cache, would mess that number up. But if you're 1:1, the number is right on the page.

Actually you are not correct. If you look at my banner, it shows 289 caches found (only 1 log per cache), but if you look at my found by search page, it says 288. This difference is because I found 1 Locationless cache before the switchover.
