Python Wrapper around Chess.com API

Project description

Python wrapper for Chess.com Public API

Description & Implementation

Python wrapper for Chess.com API which provides public data from the chess.com website. All endpoints provided by Chess.com's API are available in the respectively named methods.
Install the package with: pip install chess.com
https://pypi.org/project/chess.com/

Usage

Please refer to https://chesscom.readthedocs.io/ and https://www.chess.com/news/view/published-data-api for documentation. Below is a simple example of the usage.

from chessdotcom import get_player_profile

data = get_player_profile("fabianocaruana")

Optional Headers can also be set. Official Chess.com documentation recommends adding a user-agent header.

#optional
from chessdotcom import Client
Client.headers = {"User-Agent": "My Python Application. Contact me at email@example.com"}

All the methods from the module will now include the header when making the request to the API.
