Current Game of Player Endpoint

Hi, maybe I can't find the correct endpoint, but I want to get information about the current game a player is playing (not in a tournament). So, for example, if someone is playing 10min rated, that I can get information on which color he is, duration etc.

Is there an endpoint for this?

I doubt it. I think only finished games are included in the players' Live games endpoints.

I assume you've looked through the available documentation?

Yes, I did, the endpoints which feature "current" games are the daily chess ones.

The endpoints are not designed for handling real time information. What I mean is that an endpoint might have up to 24 hours obsolete information. The endpoints do not actually (always) track real time data so a 10 minute game is not slow enough (such as daily games) for the endpoints to have accuracy. The part of the servers that handle real time events are dedicated to actually make the game possible, (I am guessing that) there would be a significant amount of lag in a 10 minute game in case of a real time endpoint implementation when data would be regularly queried during the game.
