You want to analyse someone's games here just to find out if they play certain openings?
Is this cheating?
I'm trying to create a site that checks if the other person is a Ruy Lopez user or an Italian user.
If I enter a nickname, We'll use Chess.com's search function to crawl the site. We'll look at the ratios to see if they use Ruy Lopez or Italian.
Is this cheating? Can I get banned?
There's no rules against doing that. You could use Explorer for the same thing. You would not be able to use something like that during a live game though.
