#StackKit (Objective-C)

Objective-C can be a pretty verbose language, especially with how I've chosen to implement the API.  That being said, here's how StackKit does this:

	SKSite * site = [SKSite stackAppsSite];
	
	SKFetchRequest * request = [[SKFetchRequest alloc] init];
	[request setEntity:[SKQuestion class]];
	
	NSCountedSet * counts = [NSCountedSet set];
	
	NSUInteger count = NSUIntegerMax;
	for (NSUInteger offset = 0; offset < count; offset += 100) {
		[request setFetchOffset:offset];
		
		NSError * error = nil;
		NSArray * matches = [site executeSynchronousFetchRequest:request error:&error];
		for (SKQuestion * question in matches) {
			NSUInteger count = [[question favoriteCount] unsignedIntegerValue];
			for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) { [counts addObject:[question ownerID]]; }
		}
		
		if (count == NSUIntegerMax) {
			count = [[request fetchTotal] unsignedIntegerValue];
		}
	}
	[request release];
	
	NSMutableArray * favoriteCounts = [NSMutableArray array];
	for (id user in counts) {
		[favoriteCounts addObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
								   user, @"user",
								   [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:[counts countForObject:user]], @"count",
								   nil]];
	}
	[favoriteCounts sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"count" ascending:NO] autorelease]]];
	
	request = [[SKFetchRequest alloc] init];
	[request setEntity:[SKUser class]];
	[request setPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%K = %@", SKUserID, [favoriteCounts valueForKey:@"user"]]];
	
	NSArray * users = [site executeSynchronousFetchRequest:request error:nil];
	[request release];
	
	NSDictionary * userMapping = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:users forKeys:[users valueForKey:SKUserID]];
	
	for (NSDictionary * top in favoriteCounts) {
		SKUser * user = [userMapping objectForKey:[top objectForKey:@"user"]];
		NSLog(@"%2d - %@ [%@]", [[top objectForKey:@"count"] unsignedIntegerValue], [user displayName], [user userID]);
	}
