Match API (interactive)

Prekkies

Hi,

as far i understood an API to do something like:

  • login
  • play move
  • seek game
  • accept invites

etc, is "on the way" => i only see a public api as readonly.

If thats so, how can "square off" (this chess board) providing this functionality right now?

I must have missed something - when has the site ever promised to make its API facility interactive?

For example here:

If you wish to send commands, you will be interested in the Interactive API releasing later this year.

Wasn't that written in 2017? I have a feeling it's been quietly shelved, at least for now!

They've had quite a few issues just getting the public, read-only service to work after all.

It saying "updated 12.04.2019

Nevertheless, my last sentence is still valid...how can square off doing it, if its not READY?

Thats im interested in :-)

2019? That being the case we may need to be patient because the end of the year still gives the developers several months. I'll watch what happens with interest.

They have a special API for them. We haven't decided to open this up, as it could create some issues. If you have an app you'd like to develop with PLAY access, feel free to reach out to me!

Locutus is same person --> can i use the "send eMail" function here, or can y give me another eMail?

A bit old thread but I'm interested too. Android app for Chess.com is slow as hell on my Moto G3. If there's no "lite" version I could try to make one myself.
