Error in Match endpoint after member rename

There is an staff option that allows a member to restart a new account with the same name following Fair Play closure. However I have found one instance where the web page for a match shows the rename but the API end point is still showing the original name even after the name has been reused for a 2nd account. New account opened Sept 17th 2025.

The API endpoint requires update to new username. I have not checked if this applies to any other API match endpoint.

https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1823272/games?&p=2 board #134

Member name @simplysh-inactive (renamed)

https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1823272 

     {
          "username": "simplysh",
          "stats": "https://api.chess.com/pub/player/simplysh/stats",
          "timeout_percent": 66,
          "status": "closed:fair_play_violations",
          "played_as_white": "win",
          "played_as_black": "win",
          "board": "https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1823272/134"
        },

These are the matches the member competed in. I have not checked all the API endpoints for error

The account was just recently renamed. The endpoints should update after their next refresh

OK Thanks Martin.

Hello

Thanks for the greeting. Obviously it provides no additional information for this topic and shows you have no interest in being sensible.

What does api mean?

@OperationShark Best place to start is in the group home page, but I do wonder why you wanted to join this group

@Tricky_Dicky correct I don’t care about being sensible
