I guess this topic is abandoned, is there another thread we can follow for updates on the API?

No. Any changes after have not been logged and no development work has been done on the API this year to my knowledge.

In the paqst everything worked pretty well and last few days started issue that profile and stats api returned 401 error.

i try to open link in browser, it opens and then i re-try to call it from code and it worked well.

Can anyone explain what happens?

Hi @andreamorandini, Hi everyone,

In The https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{username} API the last_online date and the Joined date are both pointing to the 1970s for every single player. Is anybody planning to fix this some time?

Thanks.
