is there an OAuth2.0 implementation, so that the users can authentificate themselfs in my platform using there chess.com credenticals? My Idea is to link a chess.com account to a user account in my platform, but there is no way to now if the chess.com account belongs really to that user. I think an OAuth mechanism could be a create great why to do that.this there a why to do this?

I would love to create a button "Continue using Chess.com" on my website (similar as Facebook has). Would this be possible? If you need advice on how to implement this, I'm more than happy to help.

Hello!I would like to translate the extension for Chrome "Vocal Commentary" in Italian.I noticed that inside the folder of the extension there are two folders: Danny and Default, which are the two options available.Inside there is the mp3's folder with all the previously recorded voices.I simply recorded a new set of audio files in my language (Italian) and the correct mp3 files in their correct folder and maintaining the correct name of every single file.But I don't know why, it crashes after the second move (the first one works correctly)! Any suggestion? have only replaced the mp3 files! If there something I could do to fix that?I know this is a developer issue, but asking doesn't cost anything I suppose :-) :-)Thank you in advanceDanieleps. Eventually I'm available to share my "Italian" version for free and the community :-)

Hello, I have recently created my YouTube channel and its official Discord Server. I have set up all the things in the server but some special things like server custom bot and some complicated discord features I couldn't set up. So, if there is someone who is a Discord Expert please contact me through Chess.com Message

I think they were efficient. Where did they go?

Stockfish 12 NNUE is somewhat 300 points stronger than Stockfish 10 and so please change it, Thanks

About the Live Team Match API (https://api.chess.com/pub/match/live/{ID}) I think there is an error when defining the time_class tag in rapid live matches. Assuming that rapid games have a time control longer than 10 minutes, the time_class tag is currently 'standard' instead of 'rapid'. It can be quickly checked from the very example for the API: {"@id":"https://api.chess.com/pub/match/live/5861","name":"Friendly 10|2 Rapid Open: Srbija Tim vs Team USA Live","url":"https://www.chess.com/club/matches/live/5861","start_time":1579988425,"status":"scheduled","boards":0,"settings":{"rules":"chess","time_class":"standard","time_control":600,"time_increment":2,"min_team_players":1,"min_required_games":0,"autostart":false} However, this tag is correct for lightning and blitz live matches.

I have knowledge of PHP, Mysqli, ajax, but I have not created an API. I need to update the data of my leagues on the website we have. Can anyone help us?

My friend wants to share a python program he created but we don't know the best way to do it. What do we do?

Hello, I've been trying to scrap in python the chess.com/live page to know if my friends are playing and instantly open their games links. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to log into chess.com using the Python cookiejar and requests libraries. Is this even possible/allowed ? Do you have any idea of how I could make it ? Thank for your answers

Is there a call to retrieve the current standings of a tournament? The only thing I found is the Get a Tournament Round's Group method, I could iterate through the different matches, but it doesn't tell the amount points made with the win which may have different values in Arena tournaments.

I am trying to build up a training dataset to train a convolutional neural network to convert handwritten score sheets into PGN. Does anybody have a (large) body of score sheet images + respective PGNs or knows which persons/entities could potentially provide those? Since score sheet formats vary widely between countries and federations I'd be interested in a variety of them.

I don't see anywhere in the PubAPI to return the value that can be found at https://www.chess.com/stats/live/blitz/pewwww#recent for example. The leaderboard stat seems to only be fetchable for the top 500 or so players if you use the /int/leaderboards/{page} endpoint, but not through /pub/player/{username} or any other way. It's scrapable but I don't think that's the appropriate way to do things. Is there an endpoint I'm missing or is this planned to be added eventually?

Hey everyone, is there any plan to expose a public API which tells whether a particular player is playing a bullet/rapid/blitz game? Currently I see an API only for daily games. Any response will be helpful, thanks : )

I am a data science student at General Assembly. For my final project I am hoping to build a model that could predict a puzzle's rating based on the position. Does anyone know how I might be able to access the puzzle dataset so I can use it to train and test my model? Thanks, folks!

The API does not have forum posts or comments for clubs, and that would be great for creating cool applications (I was thinking forum posts discussed in Discord). Another fun idea would be posting a forum or new post yourself; you could have credentials like an API key in your settings or something.

Hi everyone, I asked this question in the general chess.com forum and people referred me to this comunity. I have a problem. I want to make some statistical analyses using the final position of several games. For this purpose, I need to know what pieces were left in the final position and in which square they were. Due to the huge ammount of games (arround 1000), I need an automatic process or something similar. I know that FEN code gives me that information, but I don't know how to extract the FEN code of the final position of this several ammount of games. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this? Is there any software that allows me to do that? All suggestions are welcome.

This is my first post here so please forgive me if this is off topic. I experience this behavior in the latest Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Brave browsers, so I suppose it holds true for any other browsers too. I use the normal sized chess board for Puzzle Rush and Battle and also for solving puzzles, example - https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/759352/practice When moving pieces on the first rank (in the above example - the rooks), if the piece goes below the boundary of the board when dragging it horizontally, then the vertical scrollbar appears on the page and the board itself re-positions. This is extremely annoying especially when you're trying to solve puzzles very fast during Puzzle Rush or Battle. If I reduce the size of the board the issue does not happen. So I suppose the issue happens because the piece goes beyond the display area of the screen. I applied a temporary fix to the issue by modifying the CSS of the page to include html { overflow-y: scroll; } as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/7607206 Then it worked.

Hi, I am trying to use the published data api to try to download all games from any tournament. The documentation says that the "group" endpoint will return the pgn for games as well, but the response doesn't have it. for example https://api.chess.com/pub/tournament/-scc-grand-prix-titled-tuesday-blitz-1308796/10/1 There doesn't seem to be an endpoint to get pgn given gameId either. So is there a way to get pgns for all games that happened in a past tournament somehow? Thank you!

Hello all, I was looking at the API specs here; and for finished tournaments, it indicates the presence of the field 'points_awarded'. However, for Fabiano Caruana's tournaments, the field is absent. Is the field optional, or has it been deleted? BTW the comment for the field says pints awarded...
