How to use Chess com API using Python

 

How to use Chess com API using Python

Chess is an amazing strategy-based game and if you have been following the recent boom of online chess then welcome to the chess club.

Online chess is amazing since it allows you to play with a random stranger at your level or stockfish (computer).

There are many popular online chess websites like lichess.org, chess.com, playchess.com, and newly created kasparovchess.com.

Today we will be seeing how to use chess.com API for getting players' stats. You can create software and get affiliates from them (check out the link below), so share it with them if you are planning to create something.

Before you start make sure you have the following things:

Pre-requirements

  1. Postman
  2. Anaconda or mini conda or Python idle
  3. Any text editor of your choice

Pretty good? Now let’s download the JSON file that chess com developers have already made for us from here and then you import it to the Postman. This just helps you with prewritten get methods so that you don’t have the hassle to write or search them online.

Now let’s write the code to get the player's stats in Python using requests. The code is basic doesn’t require much knowledge (at this point at least) you are basically just doing a get request just like you did it on Postman and the response you get will be used to display stats.

Easy right? If you have some idea about the names I mentioned above, welcome welcome welcome dosto :).

I m trying to make a COB participant tracker just in case if you want to develop this together reach out to me on my Instagram:

Authentication is big and most complicated part of an application, but it is also the  preponderance  part of any web app/software in general. Passport JS Passport JS is a widely popular authentication module for  Node js.  The sole purpose is to authenticate requests and is based on the idea of pluggable authentication strategies ( including local strategy, there are more than 500 strategies currently  available  ).

The Passport authentication and its strategy will include protection against attacks like “man in the middle” and other vectors an attacker might exploit. We are going to use Facebook strategy, for now, to install Passport and Facebook strategy type in the following command: Next, we are going to write the authentication code, and we’ll be creating a different module cal...
