How to determine the last 1k blocks and their Miner Software?

1

Basically the idea was to create a tiny service such as nodecounter.com.

Now I would appreciate your help on the following questions:

  • How to determine the Software (Core, Classic, XT, etc.) and quantity on the whole network?
  • How to determine the last 1k blocks and their Miner Software?

I would start from scratch, but if you know about any open source projects, preferably in NodeJS or PHP, I would really appreciate a hint.
