I came across this anomaly in the web/endpoint data.... @DorinN69: https://www.chess.com/member/dorinn69 Last online: Jul 5, 2024 but: https://api.chess.com/pub/player/dorinn69 "last_online":1715970154 That translates as: 17/May/2024 So which is it?

So I'm developing my first app and wanted to check if I can post a link here for it (probably not) bu just wanted to see if i could just ask if anybody has any suggestions for it and provide some context (I think I'm allowed to say it's not chess-related) as I'm a first-time coder. Thank you!

when i ever load an analysis that has a strong computer it dosent show if the move is good or bad

If you know the username of a player, you can find his/her user_id simply in the player endpoint. Is there some way to do this the other way round: finding the username that corresponds to a given player_id?

I am currently working on the world's largest database of OTB games. So far I'm at 17gb+ zipped! The project won't be done for some time, but If anybody has any OTB games from a local tournament or event I'd be more than happy to add them. Thanks.

I have a frame on the website available to my students that would allow them to solve the daily puzzle, but it is no longer presenting.  The frame is now just a plain white box.  I am not sure how to fix this at this point.  I did see a posting on another forum, but no responses.  I had read how to do this on the support portion of the site at one point, but can no longer find it. My students are in a VERY restricted environment and I can only allow certain websites because of that.  If anyone has an idea...I had sent in a help desk ticket, but got a reply to post here.

A friend and I are trying to make a chessboard that is able to move the opponent pieces and register your own moves. We now only need to have the information of the opponent in coördinates form, for example: a2-a4. Then we need to get this in our Arduino so it can move the piece. Does anybody have any idea how we could do this? We aren't very advanced programmers so the simpler the better!

Hey everyone.I want to allow users to invite their chess.com friends to use my website through OAuth (I've already set up OAuth and everything). It does not look like there is a way to do this via the chess.com DM system, correct?What alternatives do you guys recommend to invite friends over to the website? For every user, I have a list of chess.com usernames that I'd like my user to be able to invite.Thanks

I have an idea for a chess bot Name: tom Elo: 100 Reason: for those who cant beat martin

Hello guys, I woild like to share an idea I'm trying to work on, about the "almost automatic" creation of simple ebooks (let's call them cheat sheets) for the most common opening. I am writing it in Python and, based on a structured file, the program create an epub files, with either board images, text, etc.. It is in a very early stage, but it would be nice to hear your comment! This is an example of the parsed file: Title - Caro KannOrientation_white - FalseMove - e4Move - c6RenderText - The opening starts with white e4 and black respond with c6 to prepare the next move d5Move - d4RenderText - White replies with d4Move - d5RenderText - Black responds with d5 to attack white pawn on e4. White has two options, capture black pawn on d5 or push pawn to e5Move - e5RenderText - Pushed pawn to e5BackMoveRenderText - Back to previous positionMove - exd5RenderText - White capture on d5 The commands structure is easy, and self explanatory. And here the result https://www.mediafire.com/file/r0q16dpzep1q1lg/test.epub/file On my iPad it appears nice and perfectly readable.

I have few questions about Truncated Compact Notation and searching for tcn does not produce any results in the forums. Does chess.com provide any documentation for tcn? Does a character in tcn has a associated move in PGN? For example, C is e2 is there a a character that says exd5? Thank you

I'm new here and I just finished reading the README and some of the current threads. I was simply wondering about the status of the interactive API, as I couldn't find much detail on it. Is it still being actively developed? Has an official developer application process been established? Is there currently a tentative release date? Any answers that you may have would be really helpful and much appreciated.

This is probably a transient error but I've been trying to access this endpoint... https://api.chess.com/pub/club/team-india it returns... {"code":0,"message":"An internal error has occurred. Please contact Chess.com Developer's Forum for further help https://www.chess.com/club/chess-com-developer-community ."}

Can't access player match archive https://api.chess.com/pub/player/xhantian/matches {"code":0,"message":"An internal error has occurred. Please contact Chess.com Developer's Forum for further help https://www.chess.com/club/chess-com-developer-community ."}Has been persistant for a number of days.

so I'm looking through my archive game and I get this error, the game I am looking at is this one https://www.chess.com/game/live/116199067497I am not understanding the error code at all

Is there currently any way to get the email of authenticated users?

I was looking through player timeout ratios and I see some incorrect results for a few players: Example: https://www.chess.com/games/archive/cryonicity?gameOwner=other_game&gameTypes%5B0%5D=chess960&gameTypes%5B1%5D=daily&gameType=daily&page=1 Notice their last timeout was in 2023. Now hit the stats endpoint and you'll see it shows they have an 85% timeout ratio: https://api.chess.com/pub/player/cryonicity/stats "chess_daily": { "last": { "rating": 869, "date": 1721090624, "rd": 125 }, "best": { "rating": 1301, "date": 1434908697, "game": "https://www.chess.com/game/daily/61992096" }, "record": { "win": 113, "loss": 178, "draw": 1, "time_per_move": 48498, "timeout_percent": 85 } }, This is extremely inconvenient for teams that reply on the API returning accurate information. Is this a bug with the API or did something change with the response recently? If this is a bug, please prioritize this as it's causing a massive headache for people. I reviewed the docs and see it should be the last 90 days still: "timeout_percent": 9.99 // timeout percentage in the last 90 days
