This is interesting, but it doesn't show my victory over Alexandra Botez. Did you include WFMs in your code?

@Wuje - You might consider putting a "please wait" type spinner on it.
Good feedback, I tried it for a while but wasn't able to figure it out so I just went with the "XX% through the archives" for now, if you have any other ideas do let me know
Try this: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/spinners/
If that doesn't work maybe I can help you out.

Fantastic catch! We did indeed include WFMs, and I did look up and see that you beat her. I was initially puzzled and then realized there was an inconsistency in how the API and I handle lower case. All of the titled players from this endpoint have lowercase usernames but the usernames in the archives are regular cased. I now turned all usernames to lowercase and now it captures the real master info. My own master count increased dramatically, including matches I now remember having but didn't see before.
Your master count went from 4 to 5 but still doesn't include WFM Botez, so I'll look into it more...

Sorry to confuse! This actually was the problem. Your count actually went from 5 to 9 and now includes Botez. Cheers!
Nice project!

I think this is true he's showing how to use the api so why reporting? There should be a thread where people can share their projects built on top of chess.com api.
Looks like I have already beaten 35 titled players, from CM to IM, but no GM

Your probably correct. The OP was not explicit that it was an API project and I incorrectly assumed it was advertising. My mistake. I get sensitive about the garbage that is posted in these forums which is totally unrelated to API dev. In this case I got it wrong. My apologies to all and in particular to @Wuje

I understand, I get where you're coming from and I could have made it more explicit in the OP that I used the API. Apology accepted!
Cheers @JoeBovin and @deeper-thinking !
Good work! Would there be anyway to separate out the results by game type/variant? I play a lot of bughouse and the number (365!) is inflated and not very accurate as a result. Also as a heads-up the website times out in Edge on Linux but works on Firefox on Linux.

Cheers! Thanks for the heads-up.
I think it would be possible, at the moment I don't quite have the time to implement it but I think it's a great next step!
Hey everyone, I made https://howmanymasters.com to see how many titled players you've beaten. Check it out!
it doesn't work anyway
