How do I parse StarCraft 2 replay files (.sc2replay)? Is there an API?
I know of Sc2gears, but it doesn't quite fulfil my needs.

The Starcraft 2 replays are stored as MPQ a compressed file-format developed and used by Blizzard. On the bottom of the Wiki page you'll also find links to MPQ parsers. Maybe you'll also want to have a look at the following open-source projects: WARP (a Starcraft 2 replay parser written in Java) or phpsc2replay (a replay parser written in PHP). Update: As of now, there's also a Python library out there that can read a lot of the replay data: sc2reader. This is most likely the best option that is currently available (as of March 2013). |

I played with parsing the SC2 replay files a while back. You can view what I've done and what I've been able to reverse engineer (as well as bunch of links to helpful sites at the bottom): |
