How can I get element "fide" ?

Sort:
bovgit

Hi all!
There is description "fide": "integer" // FIDE rating
in chapter 'Player Profile'
on 'https://www.chess.com/news/view/published-data-api'.
I call 'https://api.chess.com/pub/player/hikaru'
and element 'fide' not found in result.
What am I doing wrong ?

The data specification is wrong

https://api.chess.com/pub/player/hikaru/stats endpoint has fide field

bovgit

Thank you !

It's weird it's on the stats page since it's part of the profile information. It must have changed after release.

It is unfortunate, Martin, that what started out as an excellent specification for the API endpoints is no longer seen as importent. There are quite a few aspects that are incorrect and that sort of makes it a waste of time.

It is in serious need of correcting but like the changelog file it must be regarded as not required.

Doesn't help the users much.
