Feature request: Allow club admins to create tournament via the API

Hello, I’m dev at ChessDojo and we are running DojoLiga, we want to create weekend to weekend arena/swiss automatically for our club/public which are streamed by the ChessDojo streamers. We would like to have endpoint or possibly some token based authorization endpoint that allows to create the tournaments in further future. Our admins can’t create this types of tournaments and it’s not really human usecase and we already know the date and time in quite advanced and it’s wasteful human effort. We are running DojoLiga which has leaderboards, and we have integrated some parts of code with Chess.com API. The code can be found here: https://github.com/jalpp/DojoLiga

What are some workaround this issue? Can we write web bot that can do this automatically (though chess.com doesn’t allow us) but if we ask for this permission.

Thanks

This is not the place to ask for such a thing. You'd have to contact chess.com directly. This is just for discussing the use of the existing API. The existing API is all read-only. 
There's no taking actions on the site through the API that exists currently.

Under help in the bottom left (if you're on desktop) there is an option to contact support.
