As the title states, I am noticing that the pub player monthly archives endpoint is not updating in real time. This has never been an issue in the past - as soon as say Hikaru finishes a game I am able to see the game he has played at this endpoint:
https://api.chess.com/pub/player/hikaru/games/2025/04
Now unfortunately it looks like there is a delay. I am noticing this during the Freestyle Friday event that is happening right now but have seen it happen earlier this week as well. I am wondering if it is a bug that will eventually be corrected or if I can no longer depend on this endpoint showing games immediately after they finish.
Has anyone else noticed this or has inside info on what is going on?Thanks!

Does puzzle api endpoint always contain an "answer"? I noticed some of responses contain moves end with * and got confused whether the goal of the puzzle is not a win in those cases?

I recently built chess-mcp, an open-source MCP server for Chess.com's Published Data API. It allows users to access player stats, game records, and more without authentication.
Features:
Fetch player profiles, stats, and games.
Search games by date or player.
Explore clubs and titled players.
Docker support for easy setup.
This project combines my love for chess (reignited after The Queen’s Gambit) and tech. Contributions are welcome—check it out and let me know your thoughts!
👉 GitHub Repo
Would love feedback or ideas for new features!

Please, how do I get the API for master games? I would really appreciate any input here.
Thanks

Hi,
On the player API endpoint (https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{username}) the player_id seems to be a number, but on the game archive API endpoint (https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{username}/games/{YYYY}/{MM}) there is a uuid field, but it is a uid and doesn't correspond to the player_id.
Is there any way of reconciling these, or do I just need to use the username (which presumably can change)?
Thanks!
Neil

Just brought to my attention in a league I help run...
https://www.chess.com/club/matches/obsessive-chess-disorder/1678137/games
See board #6 - both game points awarded to @Jose_Kagaoan because the account @Jezzabythesea was closed (unspecified). Usually this is only for FPV but the odd thing is, there's no symbol to indicate that.
I hoped it was only a webpage glitch but looking at the endpoint...
https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1678137
... the status of @Jezzabythesea is shown as: "status": "premium"
However, look at the player endpoint & it shows: "status": "closed:fair_play_violations"
https://api.chess.com/pub/player/jezzabythesea
Up until now match endpoints have been sufficiently reliable to be able to compile results & decide wins for tournaments that participating teams can place faith in but this is really troubling. I hope it's a one-off?

Hi,
does someone knows how can I retrieve head to head stats between to players via API ?
I want wins / losses / draws
I tried the https://www.chess.com/callback/member/stats/Bierr0t/Colabyl endpoint but most of the time it returns 0 on the versus time (and sometimes it works, but I dont know why)

Spec for endpoint https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{username}/stats
{
"last": { // the current stats
"date": 1509709165, // timestamp of the last rated game finished
"rating": 1642, // most-recent rating
"rd": 58 // the Glicko "RD" value used to calculate ratings changes
},Value "rd" missing for this member https://api.chess.com/pub/player/chesslearnerpermit/stats in "chess_rapid" game type
"chess_rapid": {
"last": {
"rating": 2006,
"date": 1736654141
},
Does maintainence mode mean this will get fixed?

This may be super-trivial, but the only way I've figured out how to quickly convert a FEN to a playable URL is to start with the position, click "play from position", then retrieve the penultimate URL from browser history since there's a redirect for some reason.For example, a simple pawn vs king endgame shows the encoding is trivial (you can almost read the position straight from the URL -- %2F separates the files):
