Battle.net
Blizzard's OAuth 2.0-secured API covers World of Warcraft (character profiles, game data, auction house, WoW Token), Diablo III (seasons, leaderboards), StarCraft II, and Hearthstone (cards, decks) through the Battle.net Community Developer Portal. Access requires registering a client for either a client-credentials flow (game data) or an authorization-code flow (user-scoped profile data); the portal itself moved from develop.battle.net to community.developer.battle.net under its current branding.
