Let's be honest here and tell the whole truth before we proceed, just so that other members of this community won't think you are getting ghosted about this idea.
After your message about wanting to help (it's appreciated by the way), we did talk to the owner and did message you back with all the info we received.
Long story short again - some code is under NDA, copyright from other developers working for a company awhile ago, etc... it's just not that simple.
Game owner himself is having personal issues for the last year or so (health related) so if he is not willing to debate this thing for now, that's his right and he also has his right on privacy (this being a private company, not a listed one ).
As for the script. Overall, we don't mind if you guys come up with a tool that organizes data or stats or similar, but word of caution - scrapping the website can bring the website on its knees if it's done the wrong way. We already had such problem in our other web game and the account of the "scrapper" was blocked for denial of service attack.
Shortly - don't make a script that makes multiple calls to "display web site for data scrapping" per second (or anything similar that would overburden the server)  |
