Hi all, im Arne and i joined a while ago. I'm mostly a lurker, but im pretty active on Age of Empires these days. I noticed there was a new ELO ladder, which is really nice. I used to use the one at jpcommunity a lot, for fun.
Im also a PHP developer, and i wanted to built a little stats page/site, just for fun. But i'm wondering, where do you guys get the information from. I've searched the web a bit, and i couldn't find any information about the existance of an API that ensemble studios has for the game statistics. I've read on stackoverflow that people normally just parse the HTML from the individual stats pages; such as : http://www.ensemblestudios.com/stats/EntityStats.aspx?loc=en-US&EntityName=Arnevdb0&sFlag=2&md=ZS_Supremacy.
While thats not really a nice way to do it, so far its the only option i came across. But there's one problem, i cannot find the PR rating anywhere on one of those pages. So since the ESOC ELO ladder sometimes shows PR rating, im wondering, is there an API thats usable ? Or what kind of magic are you using to gather this data ?

Hey neighbour, welcome to ESOC, I hope you find the questions and answers here you are looking for :) If you are interested in working with our developers and making pages for ESOC, send a PM to me or one of the other staff members. Perhaps we even can link or host your simple stats page.
