I'd like a full dump of all okcupid data, including how people rate me, when they rate me, their ratings, etc. I'd like to know how long they stay on my profile, how often they click to my profile, and what they're searching for.

I mean, really, I want to know what every person I meet of the opposite gender is thinking, but that dataset won't exist until I build more hardware.

You can build the dataset yourself by talking to them :)


I'd assume they wouldn't release that data because of privacy implications, how someone rates you is private to the person rating you.

But even a profile dump would be interesting, you could for example build a movie recommendation system based on it. As would aggregate statistics of which section of your profile raises the most interest, etc. (actually I'm guessing they might consider the later if someone asked them).


I wish this were possible, but AFAIK it's not at this point. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't have an API to speak of and there isn't any means to link external resources so you could run hit trackers, analytics, etc.
