Run getHandles.py, getInactiveHandles, getCountries.py, getData.py and dataToCsv.py in order (or run runall.bat in Windows), then you will get data.csv in the format which fits Jannchie/Historical-ranking-data-visualization-based-on-d3.js
I get the rating history of each user who is in the top5000 either of the active or the inactive now by Codeforces API. So if a user was in the top10 but is in neither the top5000 of the active nor the inactive now, he will not be included in the historical top10s.
See the codes for more details. (However, I'm not good at python, so the codes may be a little ugly.)
