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):

This API endpoint returns an error for most of the clubs I've tested:
{"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 ."}
Examples:
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/promote-to-king/members
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/oracles/members
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-golden-phoenix/members
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/turk-chess-players/members
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/admin-s-corner-and-training-club/members
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/1-d4-club/members
Actually so far I only got it working for this very club.

Until recently I have had no problem with this end point for 'GB' although I am aware it will not work for 'US' due to the dataset size.
Is this now becoming an issue for all larger country login member lists? Typically I would get between 130k - 170k logins in the dataset and that has been OK until now.

The webpage is fine: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1103608
The match finished Dec 27, 2020 & I know I requested that endpoint yesterday and it returned the match data correctly but suddenly I'm getting this...

I looked through the API documentation and there doesn't seem to be a way to download all the pgn's from the chess.com masters database: https://www.chess.com/games. The only other way is to manually download every single game with the download button, is there any workaround for this with the API possibly?

Is there some kind of limit to the number of games that can be returned from a monthly archive query? My archive for October 2023 is broken:https://api.chess.com/pub/player/whistlecube/games/2023/10But it worked fine a few weeks ago. Most other months work as expected, but a handful also give the same error. Any clue as to what's causing this? I'd love to help if possible.
