Is it possible to work out the top caches of a specific type (my interest is in webcam caches for an article I am writing) in order for most finds in one day

As an example I know that GC6F12 has had 241 finds in one day
GCQ7C0 has had 273 finds in one day
However iI know this from looking at the COs PGC stats page
So I am wondering if that specific data can be gleaned as a search

Thanks

My guess would be for "The heart of munich", GCHNBF, since it has 1572 finds on 2014-08-16. But that's also from looking at the COs Hides-tab and I believe this is the only way to find this stat.

That seem like a very hard number to beat but if you're looking for candidates I found it by using "logs received" on webcams only and one cache per CO. It's of course possible that a webcam with fewer logs have a higher percentage of founds on the same day but it felt as a good list to start working of at least.

Hi
Yea - I was hoping to find a way of getting all this info in one place rather than searching all the cache pages - I was aware of that particular page but as you say you would have to link in to each one individually - but also that picks out one cache with the most finds for each CO - which means the other(s) are ignored so the potential for missing out on the higher 'in one day' figure is easily done

You are correct about a webcam with fewer finds may well have more on one day
the two examples I gave in the OP
GC6F12 with 241 in one day has 7197 total finds
GCQ7C0 with 273 in one day has only 1030 total finds
Both these these days are known to be linked to nearby megas and this is probably the case with all webcams

It is very likely that I will have to do this manually - but was hoipng to find a work-a-round
tks
