It is quite the chore, logging in to all 4 realms and checking my published maps' review pages weekly to collect new bug reports / feedback. Although most of the time there are no new reviews to find on SEA, Korea and Taiwan, so maybe I could do it even less frequently there. But then I'd be missing/ignoring the few reviews that do come. Possibly for months!
Is there a way to automate the collection of arcade map reviews? Possibly without having to launch Starcraft 2, even.
This would be especially useful for people with several or popular maps, who get dozens of new reviews a day. (Which I certainly wish I did but don't.)
The SC2 client is just not good enough for handling that (or any) amount of feedback; Lag, inefficient menus, forced animations, slow login/logout process, oh and did I mention the painful, painful menu navigation... Especially if you have multiple maps.
Wish people would just leave a copy of their reviews on the maps' forums as well... But that'd be asking too much of them. Can't thank enough already the 1% of my playerbase who actually care enough to even leave a rating.
It doesn't look like there's currently an API for the Arcade, nor is this data sent to Battle.net, so we can't even scrape it manually. It seems as if the only option would be to write a bot to login and gather the data, until hopefully Arcade data is added to the API.

I agree, that would be very helpful.
Unfortunately i dont think there is any way to do this. :(
