Giving read-only access to exact in-game data is a great way to foster community-built tools.
There are many players who have built and are building various "tools" (usually spreadsheets) intended to help other players. Some of these tools could be greatly enhanced, both in usability and functionality, if some of the in-game data were accessible. For now, users of the tools must enter data manually, and furthermore with the imprecision due to rounding. (E.g. the 90 ring not being really a perfect one.)
An example of how it could be done:
(Although this would work only for profiles saved on the server.)
