Welcome back to the BeeBalanced blog! We’ve got a new release to share with you all.

So, @azircon asked if we could dig a little deeper into the SPL metrics side of things. There’s already a Discord bot out there showing some of this info, and Peakmonsters does a solid job of presenting it their own way too.

But… we wanted to take it a step further by using the Splinterlands API directly and building our own view. And of course, throw in a little fun factor while we’re at it.

🔌 The Endpoint We’re Using

The data comes straight from here:
👉 https://api.splinterlands.com/transactions/metrics

If you’re new to the Splinterlands API, you’ll love their Swagger docs. The team did a great job making it accessible for everyone:
📘 Game API: https://api2.splinterlands.com/doc/
🌾 Land API: https://vapi.splinterlands.com/swagger/#/

📊 What You’ll See

Head over to the new metrics page:
👉 https://beebalanced.streamlit.app/spl_metrics_page

By default, it shows a 7-day view, but you can easily change the timeframe with the buttons at the top.

This is where we go beyond what Peakmonsters and the Discord bot offer:

• No limit in data range
• Fully interactive charts — zoom, pan, select, export — it's all there!

Explore the Four Metrics Tabs

We’ve split the data into 4 main categories, each on its own tab:

1. Battle Metrics
   
   2.Card Market Metrics
   
2. User Metrics
   
3. Transactions
   

What I’ll be keeping an eye on in the coming weeks/months when the marketing push starting:

• Spellbook purchases
• Daily battle counts
• Transaction trends

📈 Log Scale – Why It Matters

You’ll see an option to switch the Y-axis to log scale.

So why is log scale useful?

Log scale is handy when your data spans a huge range. Instead of getting a flat line for smaller values and a massive spike for bigger ones, a log scale compresses those big differences and helps you see trends more clearly, even when numbers vary by orders of magnitude.

🎯 Bonus Fun: See When a Player Joined

Wanna know when a player started their Splinterlands journey?

Just enter a username, tick “Show Join Date,” and it’ll plot their join date on the chart. Super cool to see where in the hype cycle someone jumped in.

Here’s mine as an example:

In the middle of the hype or 2021 🤣. I never regretted that this is the way i discover splinterlands and hive. Still enjoying it every day... and yes for asset values i hope there will be better days, turning my red number in at least a neutral position 🤣.

🛠️ Pro Tips for Using the Charts

This is basically for all charts that are being used in beebalanced.

• Drag and Zoom: Select areas to zoom in (box, vertical, or horizontal) (gif showing zooming)
  
• Line Selection: Click to toggle lines, double-click to isolate or reset
  
• Double-Click on Graph: Resets the axes
  
• Download Options: Grab the chart as a PNG with one click
  

And if that’s not enough, hit the Download CSV button and do your own plotting in your favorite tool. Excel, Google Sheets, Python — whatever works for you!

So there you have it! I hope you enjoy the new feature — SPL Metrics are now live on BeeBalanced! 🎉

If you’ve got feedback, things you’d like to see improved, or totally new ideas… drop me a message. I’d love to make this tool even better with your help.

Happy days to all of you!🐝
