Vote chess game download (enhancement request, duplicate, more detail added)

Today someone asked me again about clean play in some vote chess games. Which pushes me again to ask for the ability to download vote chess games as I can download an individual member's games.

For the most basic solution, all I want is the PGN archives. If (either) the JSON endpoint or PGN endpoint was replicated for team's vote chess games I would be delighted.

Some features would be "nice to have" but are certainly not essential and I'd prefer the basic endpoint(s) sooner rather than endpoints with these features later:

  • Players for each team
  • Team private notes per move (which become public when the game finishes)
  • Public notes per-game which are always public.

In the case of each of the points above I would again simplify if that helps add the feature:

  • Posted diagrams are desirable(*) but not required
  • Embedded images are not required
  • External URLs are not required except as plain text references
  • Text may be plain (colour, font, size, etc ignored).

(*) I'm not sure how these would be best provided. FEN plus PGN perhaps with each post as a separate JSON item for that move? Anyway, a "round two" not an initial feature IMHO unless of course it's easier to include.

If text notes and URLs were provided as HTML that would be quite acceptable, including being provided that way only without any "simple text" translation/transliteration. For me something like Rich Text Format would be less good than HTML. Any Javascript I would prefer be dropped.

Thanks for listening,

Giles

Yes, even a simple button to download a batch of vote chess games like we can in individual archives would be an improvement.  Currently we have to manually download them one at a time.

Please add me to that request - becoming ever more urgent to be able to download vote chess games & I'd be content with the bare PGN's.

Agree this would be a good enhancement.

Agreed!

Old request, still needed.  Will there ever be Vote Chess information available through the public API?
