Sorry if this topic was already discussed, but I was not able to find it.

Is there reason, why details of Live tournaments can not be fetched normaly?  For example I would like to get all games played in round 1 (https://api.chess.com/pub/tournament/1bleskov-turnaj-rp-achy-1642875/1), but the request finish with error.

My ultimate goal is to extract all games played for the tournament (including byes and no-shows games, which doesnt appear in .pgn export) and reformat it to import the results into Swiss-manager.

I think the tournament feature only applies to daily tournaments.

I had a similar problem for Live matches. I ended up writing code to go through players archives to get the pgn for the individual games and write out to a combined text file.

It's a pain,

Thanks for quick feedback - I have downloaded .pgn from tournament details and through macro updated it into required format, but this will miss the noshow and bye games, so it requires additional work to update Swiss manager manually.

I'd expect that to be the case as well. Like you, a friend on the site has asked me if I can collate data from his club's Live matches as well as Daily (I've been doing the latter for some time).

I assumed it would be easy to access an endpoint for a club's archive of Live matches as I do for Daily but much to my surprise, no such endpoint exists.

This seems like an oversight, so come on guys - an endpoint for Live club matches please!
