Chess.com or lichess player profile and ratings
A player's public profile and ratings: chess.com (name, title, country, location, followers, joined, last online, streamer, league; current, best and record of every rating: rapid, blitz, bullet, daily, daily 960; FIDE, tactics and puzzle rush) or lichess (title, patron, bio, country, FIDE/USCF rating, created, last seen, play time, game counts; rating, deviation, games and progress in every variant).
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
usernamerequired | string | Username. Example: hikaru |
site | chesscom | lichess | chesscom (default) or lichess. Default: chesscom |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/chess/v1/player?username=hikaru" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/chess/v1/player",
params={"username": "hikaru"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/chess/v1/player");
url.searchParams.set("username", "hikaru");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
