// Run Inspector Console in chrome and copy and paste the following code in the /stats/stories view

function download(filename, text) {
    var pom = document.createElement('a');
    pom.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
    pom.setAttribute('download', filename);

    if (document.createEvent) {
        var event = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
        event.initEvent('click', true, true);
        pom.dispatchEvent(event);
    }
    else {
        pom.click();
    }
}

content = "";
rows = document.querySelectorAll(".sortableTable-row.js-statsTableRow")
rows.forEach(function(row) {
  title = row.querySelectorAll(".sortableTable-title > a")[0].innerText
  values = row.querySelectorAll(".sortableTable-value")
  views = values[1].innerText
  reads = values[2].innerText
  readRatio = values[3].innerText
  recommends = values[4].innerText
  content += title + ";" + views + ";" + reads + ";" + readRatio + ";" + recommends + "\n"
});

download("medium-metrics-" + new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10) + ".csv", content)

Howdy,

Same with me I don't use Medium anymore so can't really assist, apologies.

Take care!

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I really appreciate it.

I am gonna ask a follow-up, hoping you remember the document structure:)

I see that you extract the data based on the class names with querySelectorAll(), and then, parse them. But, I could not find the div where the list of daily counts is stored. Is my assumption correct? Was it stored under a single div within the main document object?

Hey @ogyalcin, I am sorry but I can't remember the HTML structure. It looks that I am doing exactly that in the script.
