Sorry if this is the wrong place - I am trying to access an API and it is referring me to post about it here:

API GET: https://api.chess.com/pub/player/donotquestionauthority/games/2025/02

Result:

{"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 ."}

Other months work fine so far (2025/03, 04, etc), but I am trying to use automation to analyze my games and am concerned that they could break as well.

That can occasionally happen. It will likely work after the next endpoint refresh.

The API is a super cool feature of chess.com and it's even more amazing that you guys make it free, so I know we really cannot complain, but I've been retrying the same endpoints for weeks. It has been in bugfix-mode for 8 months already x.x
Maybe an async pgn request system could be put in place, if momentarily? Lots of unnecessary requests are currently being made to the already crowded, traffic-intense website that is chess.com. I feel guilty for retrying so much
