In 2 clubs, a member made a graph of members. He said he is using a chess.com API to do this. How can I do it too? I am very curious

what

The API allows us to download a range of raw data provided by the site but to turn that into useful information requires other tools not provided by the site.

Have you asked the member how he did that because an app of some kind was probably used.

Do you know what the diffinition of an api is? IT is basically a way that you can use a part of a website in your program.  You need to know how to program.

you can find an api on a webpage by going on inspector, clicking network, clicki9ng xhr, and then reloading the page and it will show a list of available apis. However, chess.com already provided the available apis, which can be found here.

I used the api with a dictionary of the members and their join date, and I used the matplotlib library in python to graph the members growth. However, it is not accurate, because it doesn't track when a member leaves the club.
