Reinforcement learning has made great strides in recent years due to the success of methods using deep neural networks. However, such neural networks act as a black box, obscuring the inner workings. While reinforcement learning has the potential to solve unique problems, a lack of trust and understanding of reinforcement learning algorithms could prevent their widespread adoption. Here, we present a library that attaches a "data scraper" to deep reinforcement learning agents, acting as an observer, and then show how the data collected by the Atari Data Scraper can be used to understand and interpret deep reinforcement learning agents. The code for the Atari Data Scraper can be found here: https://github.com/IRLL/Atari-Data-Scraper
