The end point for club members is split in three activity categories.
Weekly, Monthly and all time.

The code you are using is displaying the third but not the first two or is displaying them in order but overwriting each time so you only see the final list.
Hello, thank you that makes sense.
If you have the time, could you suggest what needs to be changed about the code to output all three categories, and effectively display all 490 members?
I remember Java basics, but I'm kind of a noob tbh.

The code does return all the members.
The first "for" iterates the "weekly", "monthly" and "all_time" sections while the second "for" gets all the members.
@Colby-Covington, If you want the members to be shorted alphabetically and have their title as prefix (much much slower because it then needs to check for titled players one by one):
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET','https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-chess-elite/members',false);
request.send();
var response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
var list = [];
for(type in response)for(member of response[type])list.push(member.username);
list.sort();
var result = '';
for(member of list)
{
request.open('GET',`https://api.chess.com/pub/player/${member}`,false);
request.send();
response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
member = '@' + member;
if(response.title)
member = response.title + ' ' + member;
result += member + '\r\n';
}
console.log(result);
First of all, thank you both so much. You are obviously wizards with this so please bear with me a little.
This is my console output for the command below.
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET','https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-chess-elite/members',false);
request.send();
var response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
var list = '';
for(type in response)for(member of response[type])list += member.username + '\r\n';
console.log(list);
It keeps returning only 171 members, ending with member Ziryab, so it's probably sorted alphabetically.
Also when I just click https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-chess-elite/members I can only see those exact 171 members. Weekly, Monthly and All Time, show the same 171 members.
Not really sure why that is tbh.
That is probably why the second command with titled players doesn't work for me either, because these 171 members do not have any titled players in them.
Also the code for the titled members is very slow, several minutes slow.
Sorry man, you were absolutely right.
Can I offer you something for this? You really helped me out here, because I was stuck.
One more little question if you don't mind.
Is it possible to display the following separately with @ and title or no title?
Try putting the list into a spreadsheet and you can sort and filter as much as you want.
Definitely second the Excel recommendation. But if you must know....
----------------
In JavaScript you can do .sort() and pass in what's called a "comparator" function to sort an array of items ("weekly": [.....] is an array)
response.weekly.sort( (a, b) => b.joined - a.joined );
For the other requests you'd need to cross-reference that information with the player info as APISTOTELHS said, since it's not in the response from that particular API endpoint.
You could append it to the corresponding object in the weekly array as you go, or build a new array with the info added, and then do the sort like above. That's a little more involved, and if I were building this script I'd start to want to cache that information somewhere so I don't do hundreds of API requests each time.
But anyway yes hypothetically if you merged the "titled" information into the objects in the response.weekly array then you do listing only titled:
onlyTitled = response.weekly.filter(x => x.title)
or only non-titled:
nonTitled = response.weekly.filter(x => !x.title)
The rating is yet another request (e.g. https://api.chess.com/pub/player/williamfwm/stats - makes sense, since there's many types of ratings) so you'd have to merge that in then filter and sort on it. But pretending you had merged in a fide attribute to every entry in the array then it's the "joined" code except now it's .fide not .joined the comparator is doing the math on
Hi, I run a club that features a section where the club member's account names are displayed on a Wall of Fame.
https://www.chess.com/club/the-chess-elite
Example: @Member1 @Member2 @Member 3 .... etc.
So far I have just been using copy/paste to add new members, but it's starting to get a little too much, which is why I'd like to automate the process.
What I would like to achieve:
1.) All club member names in listed, plain text format.
After this I will just use a text parser to put "@" in front of each name to achieve this:
2.) All titled player's account names in listed, plain text format. Here possibly with the correct title.
What I've got so far with the help of for direct Firefox Console Input:
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET','https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-chess-elite/members',false);
request.send();
var response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
var list = '';
for(type in response)for(member of response[type])list += member.username + '\r\n';
console.log(list);
My one problem is that https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-chess-elite/members only returns 171 members instead of the total 490. What am I missing here?
