Missing AO3 Emails and my Database

artemisdartAO3 neglected to send me my kudos emails on January 16 and 17, which I noticed right away because I am a huge nerd. However, I'm able to recover what my kudos would have been on those two days, although I don't know exactly which people left kudos on which day.
I made a note of how many kudos each piece had as of 8 this morning, and the difference between each total and what my database thought it should be. Then I went into each piece's kudos list and made a note of (1) the usernames I saw that weren't in my database already, and (2) the count of guest kudos at that time.
After tonight's kudos email goes out, I'll be able to rectify the discrepancies. I will split the kudos evenly between the 16th and the 17th, since there's no way of telling anything more specific.
I did submit a question to the AO3 volunteer mod team asking if they have an API so I don't have to rely on their emails anymore, but I highly doubt they have one, or I would have found out about it when I was researching this project in the first place!
