Hello, I am a fairly new relay operator, and I was wondering whether the TOR relay search does/should show the total number of gigabytes a relay has donated. This seems like a really useful bit of data for TOR fans like myself to see and compare to other relays.
I couldn’t find the data on https://metrics.torproject.org when searching for my relay, but since this data can be compiled from the (public) bandwidth-time graphs on the relay search, it could be calculated without publicly releasing extra data.
Would you find total bandwidth metrics useful?
Is this already a feature of TOR metrics?
Edit: I wrote some python to calculate this for you from onionoo
import requests, json
fingerprint=input("what is your relay's fingerprint? >")
url = f"https://onionoo.torproject.org/bandwidth?lookup={fingerprint}"
r = requests.get(url)
json_data = json.loads(r.text)
bandwidth_metadata = json_data["relays"][0]["write_history"]["1_month"]#get last month's write history for the first relay found
band_values = bandwidth_metadata["values"]
band_width = float(bandwidth_metadata["interval"])
scale_factor = bandwidth_metadata["factor"]
total = 0
for i in band_values:
total += i*band_width
total *= scale_factor
total /= 1000000000#gigabytes
print(f"{total} GB donated")
