Alternatively, search function like "all ZvZ between Nov.1st and Nov30" would do unless such thing already exists and I'm just dumb.

Update on the above. It can be done through the API with the following steps:

1. Get an api key from here: http://aligulac.com/about/api/
   
2. Navigate to:
   http://aligulac.com/api/beta/match/?format=json&date__gte=START_DATE&date__lt=END_DATE&rca=RACE_A&rcb=RACE_B&apikey=APIKEY
   where START_DATE and END_DATE are dates in yyyy-mm-dd format, RACE_A and RACE_B are the races of the players in the match and APIKEY is your api key from step 1.
   
3. Look at the value of meta.total_count. It will contain the number of matches matching the above.
   

Example:

To get all PvPs in September this year.
Go to http://aligulac.com/api/beta/match/?format=json&date__gte=2013-09-01&date__lt=2013-10-01&rca=P&rcb=P&apikey=APIKEY.
As you can see, the count is 352.

{"meta": {"limit": 20, ... "total_count": 352} ... 

For easier viewing, use this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc

Bonus part:

If you have access to a unix like system you can run:

curl -s "URL" | sed -e 's/.*total_count": \([0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1\n/'

where URL is the url above and it will output the number.

$ curl -s "http://aligulac.com/ ... &apikey=APIKEY" | sed -e 's/.*total_count": \([0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1\n/'
352

Note that I did not claim that it was easy. However, this is the only way to grab the data for users (without downloading the database).

meta: {limit: 20, ... total_count: 206} ...

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I have tried it several times with different dates and races, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
For example,
http://aligulac.com/api/beta/match/?format=json&date__gte=2013-05-01&date__lt=2013-05-31&rca=Z&rcb=Z&apikey=APIKEY
is supposed to give me the number of ZvZ matches played during May 2013, and it says

meta: {limit: 20, ... total_count: 206} ... 

However, list 84 ( http://aligulac.com/periods/84/ ) says that 285 ZvZ games were played between May 2nd and May 15th 2013.
Non-mirror numbers don't seem to match numbers @ http://aligulac.com/reports/balance/ , either.

I'm trying to get these numbers because , frustrated to see nonsense in balance discussion, I am writing an article on current&historical SC2 balance based on Aligulac data among other things. It seems that the number of mirror games is correlated with the balance. (more PvP when P looks OP from other indicators.) So I thought it would be great to include mirror numbers if possible.

There's a bug in the inference BBCode output for dual-tournament groups: the entries in the name column are in inverted order, so that the probabilities for the most likely to advance are in the same row as the name of the least likely to advance.

Take e.g. this prediction.

Yes, they won't match. The numbers on /periods/ are the number of games, not matches. Sorry for the confusion!

Do you count forfeit as a lose ? Didn't know that :o.

I did submit the result without counting Hwangsin vs Hqrdest and Hyun vs GenjiTakiya in. I did specify it in the commentary section, saying they got defwin since Hyun and Hwangsin didn't show up.

Some filtering options would be really nice. Specifically, options to filter ratings such that only proleague games are counted, or only foreign vs foreign games, or only Korean vs Korean, but really mostly just interested in ratings in a proleague-only filter

Also, is it possible to get aligulac to auto-update based on ladder results and provide an aligulac rating for ladder players, say, in gm and masters? It's an interesting idea, but I assume it would be either challenging or impossible depending on what data's available.
