It bothered me that Dyno's implementation never seemed to work, so I want to try to see if we can implement it on our bot too.

There are several ways to do this, including web scraping, an external api like this, or apparently even contacting Blizzard support and asking for access (just say you've wrestled with Jeff and you'll be gold). Ultimately this won't be so simple to achieve.

This sounds pretty neat, considering how many OW players we have around. Are you interested in architecting this? First order of business is to figure out what method we want to use (an API would be ideal, since scraping is a bit annoying) and then looking at what data we want to provide specifically.
