Hi,

I'm looking to download the games of the PlayKomodo Bot (In particular, its odds games with other players). https://api.chess.com/pub/player/playkomodo/games/2022/03 is empty, which matches the profile. Is this intentional and is there a plan in the future to be able to filter bot games (Lichess, for example, has this feature)? I can still find its games by looking at its opponents.

Thanks.

If you check the member @PlayKomodo and look at it's games archive you will see it is empty.

https://www.chess.com/games/archive/playkomodo

Conclusions

1. C.C do not store bots games in web site archive

2. API is a reflection of web site details. therefore nothing to publish

3. This is not an API issue but a Web page policy for C.C bots.

Suggest put in a change request.

Thanks. In general I think it would be nice to have some flags of this sort of nature: https://lichess.org/api#operation/apiGamesUser if it is possible: since, until, rated, opponent, etc. which will make it easier to get pgns. This kind of sorting is already available in the archive, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
