Developing a web app which I plan to deploy in heroku. I use python requests to get info from endpoints. Example.
import requests
headers = {'User-Agent': 'head2head'}
username = 'gmwso'
url = f'https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{username}/games/archives'r = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
Is the header with user-agent enough in getting the info or I will just remove it or maybe add more like email address?
Sample app image.

I'd like to start soon tournaments with the very interesting new Clubs Arenas feature announced this fall: https://www.chess.com/news/view/chesscom-releases-club-arenas
These tournaments generate scores for Clubs and for players. I'd like to know how could I use APIs for this?
Thanks!

Match roster shows different rating value to API of player stats.
Seems to apply with a player new to C960 games and only unrated games in archieve
Example: @roywebbhastings
https://www.chess.com/stats/daily/chess960/roywebbhastings rating displayed as 400
In roster (Starting at 5pm today) Board #167
https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1334529/games?&p=2
rating displayed as 1200
https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1334529
{"username":"roywebbhastings","rating":1200,"timeout_percent":0,"rd":350,"status":"basic"}
API stats https://api.chess.com/pub/player/roywebbhastings/stats
Rating shown as 400
"chess960_daily":{"last":{"rating":400,"date":1372872745,"rd":350},"record":{"win":0,"loss":2,"draw":0,"time_per_move":8653,"timeout_percent":0}}

Hello,
When I use Game Review on a browser I get great data about the game (see first link below). It tells me when I used Game Review, who used Game Review (in this case, me), what the arc of the game was, and dozens of other great pieces of info. My question is, is there a way to get all that great info for games that had Game Review used on the phone app?

I was viewing the details of one of my games via the game ID API callback endpoint:https://www.chess.com/callback/live/game/5906492213
I noticed the moveList key with the following move notation:
moveList: "mC0Kgv!TbsYIft5QegQziqztktWGvKZRKA6EnvENdm7ZAPZ6P6"
What type of chess move notation is that using? Looking at the Move list, it appears two characters represent a move since this game had a total of 25 ply. My guess is that each two letter combination is recording which piece has moved where but it might just hold to and from destinations. It looks like a neat notation but I haven't checked the Javascript files yet to see if there is any code there that gives more answers.
Anyone know?

The 'beta' is complete. I invite you to register as a member at www.4teamchess.com. Once you register, you don't have to do it again. Then, sign-up for a tournament event. After that, play a rapid 30-minute match on chess.com. Then post the rating received on the tournament site. At 10 PM CST, the tournament will run using 1000 simulated players and however many humans signed up for that day. The results of the tournament are available the following morning. If you are not on the winners' list you can see what team you were on from the results page. Good luck I hope you will help us find any bugs!! The club for the site here on chess.com is 4teamchess International

Hello,
I'm not sure why, but for two games that are very similar that have both been reviewed I get different data. For example, for the first game, I get a whole lot of great data about the game, who reviewed the game, what their CAPS scores were, etc. For the second game, all I get is that the game was reviewed (this is where it says "analysisLogExists: True". Does anyone know why?

In collaboration with chess.com, I have developed a proof of concept to demonstrate the largest chess tournament in the world. The proof lives at www.4teamchess.com. I am offering a share of my company, World Wide Sports Promotions, LLC. for those that have programing skills, API experience, and/or administrative experience. I own two other Proof of concepts in the sport of bowling and Golf. I will provide more details to those that show interest and have the skills mentioned above. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US.

I will get alerts on my Android for messages. I will clearly see there is a new message in the list, but when I try to open the individual message, it isn't there. If I go to my desktop, there is no issue. I wanted to see if there is a way to add a refresh button or if something can be done to improve the communication in real time. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I have made sure I am up to date.

Hello,
I am using chess.com games archives to download player games. Today the PGN are no more present in the api response.For example https://api.chess.com/pub/player/jrrossibr/games/2021/02 does not contain any PGN.The PGN field is in the documentation: https://www.chess.com/news/view/published-data-api#pubapi-endpoint-games-archive
Is it a bug or you intentionally removed it? It was super useful to have the PGN.
Best regards,Noé

I posted this before but it got lost. It makes no sense that the API provides highest and lowest puzzle rating. Those are likely not even relevant except maybe a chart. My application gives you profile data. Since it has both Lichess and Chess.com, I cannot allow a scenario where your puzzle rating on Lichess is your current rating, and your puzzle rating on Chess.com is your best rating, as this is discrimination. As a result, my application ( discord bot ) doesn't support Chess.com puzzle rating in the claim that Chess.com does not give me that data.

https://api.chess.com/pub/club/{ID}/matches
if request sent to this end point with team name with UTF chars then returns null string.
No error code sent back. Would expect either 404 or 410 response.
Example:

The API does not provide a current tactics rating. Only highest and lowest.
