I was wondering if the publicly available data from the chess.com API (games, players etc.) can be used by me in an app/website that I am making? If yes, are there restrictions on the app? For instance, does it have to be non-commercial? Can I ask for donations in the app/website?
I have read the API agreement posted here https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/readme-1#comment-33653396. My app is not a competing app, and it discloses that games are from chess.com, and also has a link to the corresponding games. And currently I store only a small amount of data gathered from the API at any time.
I was directed to ask the question in this forum by chess.com's Member Support. The person asked me to contact one of the 'SAs' here.
