Rank + Name (i.e. columns 1 and 2), linebreak, comma, or semicolon seperated values would be easiest, but whatever is easiest for you, I can parse whatever you give application-wise.

The only other value I can think I could use is the BNET ID to verify which players are duplicates to those on blizzard's list and to separate same-named players.

I've basically already got the code in place which can scrape those two pages for those 3 fields, so if you don't mind me scraping the pages (especially since this isn't happening repeatedly, and isn't a web service), you wouldn't need to generate an API. Otherwise, those are the fields I appear to need.

If you already have the code to scrap pages then go for it. Just if you can make the UA something obvious so I know it's from you that would be great.

Do your vetos affect your chance of getting each matchup? If so, you could predict your chance of getting each matchup based on your vetoes, using your map stats data. All you need are separate lists map stats for each race, which you currently aren't displaying right now. But I'm guessing it would be easy for you to do. I could probably put something like this together for the top200, but that would require scraping the map stats data for each player, since I don't see a way to get it through your API.

Edit: It seems matchmaker picks player first, and map second. So votes should have no impact. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=185354

Why is the 1v1 graph still showing the Diamond league and not the Master? It seems like it would be an easy thing to fix, yet it's been a couple of weeks and I've been checking like every day and it's still not updated. Why? O.o

Even if it picked map first, then players you wouldn't be able to accurately figure out what race someone went against.

It definitely works for Master and has since 1.2 came out, http://sc2ranks.com/team/61828 Can you link the profile that doesn't work?

I'm talking about the top 10 graph for the 1v1 ladder, available from the Misc. menu. Sorry if I was unclear.

Speaking of graphs, why doesn't LiquidTLO have one? He is top 10 on the global ladder and I would love to see his graph...

top 200 is out and it's almost a complete mirror of sc2 ranks. It's pretty cool actually.

Curious, why don't you allow mobiles to pull data from the server?

Exceptions have been made, but primarily because I was getting a few emails a week of people wanting to take the API, wrap it in a mobile app and profit from it.

Ah I understand. I was thinking about doing some mobile stuff with SC2 data but was stopped by that. Anything I'd do would be free though and I'd adhere to all your requirements.

Can you send me an email at shadow@sc2ranks.com with what you're looking to do, I have a mobile API that was implemented but never used that might be helpful.

Link your profile? You should not be able to change someones name unless the name actually changed. It verifies it with battle.net before it allows it.

Small changes tonight:

You can now toggle matches/vods/replays by clicking the header.
Added a page to view more than the last 10 vods of a player: http://sc2ranks.com/us/789884/SeleCT/vods/
Fixed the top 10 graph, shows masters now (might take a few hours to recache).
Fixed division listing, now defaults to master.

I can't search for other players on sc2ranks.com

It always says:

Sorry, cannot find anyone with from Europe as Elzar#310. You can try the Profile Finder, due to Battle Net changes, you won't be able to find a character by code all the time (despite them being in the database).

Nick and ID are valid, because it's my Nick / ID.

Using Profile Finder:

No profile found.

This happens all the time, no matter who i am trying to look up.
Nicks and IDs are all valid.

Anybody else got that problem?
