I've started playing a lot of darts and I want to see if I am indeed improving which I suspect I am. I've been using an app called DartCounter which I've found to be pretty good and it does give you a few statistics the problem is that they are only basic and the data visualisation is not to my liking. I have found however that they utilise an API to load the stats so I can scrape the data myself fairly easily. We see that my 3-dart average has indeed improved given more practice however my checkout rate is much more of a mixed bag.

The average above is somewhat flawed because I haven't always faced the same level of opponent and a challenging opponent is likely to result in a higher average since they will finish the leg if I'm taking too long to hit my doubles. Therefore we can see the improvement in scoring much more clearly in my scoring average prior to getting to a checkout. We can do this because we have turnwise data from DartCounter.

The data is scraped through a Python script from DartsCounter and then injested into a MySQL database, it's then returned in a PHP API which is then displayed using the ECharts JavaScript library. This allows me to indeed confirm that I am getting better, though I think it's clear my checkouts could do with some more practice.
