Hey!

I do (web)development stuff for fun and am a Twitch mod for a few Chess.com partnered streamers and I've noticed viewers like stats. They like to use !whois and !stats commands on Twitch to view stuff about Chess.com users.

Recently, player accuracies were a topic in one of the streams. I figured it would be cool to create an accuracy command that calculates a player's average accuracy in the last month or so (that way, we wouldn't have to get, you know, ALL games someone's ever played). I was disappointed to find out that the Published-Data API does not have give us this information sad.png 

My suggestion would be to add each player's accuracy to the API for games that have previously been analyzed (e.g.  only games where accuracies are already known). My personal use for this would be to make fun Twitch chat commands, but I'm sure other developers would find other uses for it as well!

 

I'd love to hear how you guys (and especially a Chess.com developer) feels about this!

Thanks in advance!

I found this post by searching if this was available, as I am trying to do some number-crunching on my own game accuracy scores. It would be a great touch. Have you heard anything in response?
