I created a script to get your merit data into a sqllite file, which IMO is best for your situation. I also created an API to query merit data.
Both files are written in python. To run the files, you navigate to the folder they are located in and in the command prompt type
python [file name]; the file name should end in .py. You will need to run the first file first. Neither file will cause your SQLlite database to update automatically, but if the API is deployed, I could easily write a script to update the SQLlite database with new merit transactions.
When you run the file that gets data into the SQLlite file, it will create a SQLlite file. This file may also take a minute or so to run.
The API file should be run second ideally. It will need to continue running as long as you want the API to run.
As a standard disclaimer: I am not aware of any security vulnerabilities with my code, but you should implement my code at your own risk.
When merit transactions are being queried, if there are none, a single dummy transaction with 0 merit is returned.
If my code is implemented, and there is demand, I can update the API to return the usernames associated with the UIDs in question.
My API file is not very well commented. I don't have very much free time to spend on coding side projects, and sat down a number of times to work on this code. If you need better comments, I can create better/more comments.
My script to get your merit data into a SQLlite file is below:

#will commit rows in batches of 100
if len(session.new) > 100:
session.commit()
session.commit() #commit last batch of rows
#check to make sure all rows were successfully imported
if len(session.query(Merit.id).all()) == len(data):
print(f'All the data from the DataFrame was successfully imported into a SQL file found at {database_path}')
else:

If the indenting did not transfer over properly, let me know and I will upload this to github. When you run the API file, you may get an error message saying not to run the code in production, but I believe it should be sufficient for your level of use.
