I am noticing that I am getting an error 3204 internal error only sometimes with a specific club. Initially it seemed to be because the members were set to private. Even though you'd figure that would be a restricted response code.
Anyway, the members are now public and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Should I assume this is just some legitimate internal issue with chess.com or is this 3204 just a catch all for anything without a specific response code?
The raw data is quite easy to access from the API, even if I suppose now that access to member list is not anymore possible for clubs that configured it to private it might break a bit all that. I have something slightly equivalent, you just need to iterate through the https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{member} & https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{member}/stats endpoints for all members of the club, and you can also cross check on the titled players lists to get titles, same for streamers.
I found this tool quite interesting… (https://www.chess.com/blog/sjbfan/you-vs-60000-hikaru-fans) does anyone know a way to get access to this? The author has been offline for a while.
If the API is being properly 'maintained' I don't understand why I & other users are experiencing so many problems these days when prior to that it used to work so reliably?
A couple of years back I could run checks on 120 clubs with barely any failures - yesterday I had two '404' responses on just 90 clubs. That tells me things are getting worse.
