Blizzard has supported Starcraft 2 replay file parsing for years now, even by providing their own library to do so: https://github.com/Blizzard/s2protocol

And somewhat recently, they also added a version for Heroes of the Storm replay files: https://github.com/Blizzard/heroprotocol

Of course I will honor Blizzard's feelings on this, but I've yet to receive any complaint from them

Oh, my fault then. It's fine when people use your tool to get other's profile information without any permission.
