CHESS.COM API CHANGES

So the Chess.com API needs some changes. These changes are about adding information from games that are happening now making the analysis of games better which includes things like when the game starts and ends. They also need to update the instructions for using the Chess.com API and make it so people can use it often every hour. The Chess.com API needs these changes because there are some limits, on how people can use the REST API for the Chess.com API.

Thank you!

The site has placed the API in "maintenance mode" so no new features will be added in future.

I think that includes any changes.

The Public API isn't designed for current data. For most endpoints, it's for read only data, that only updates periodically. It's unlikely lube API access is going to be made available, at least not in a more public, and unfiltered access method. If more live endpoints are exposed, for general use, it will likely be handed similarly to how oAuth access is handled.

As mentioned, the current API isn't likely to get many updates, unless it's a bug fix, or directly in support of new site functionality that relies on it.

There will be a rewrite of the Public API at some point, but likely will be a while before that's started.
