No, sorry. You have to go through a player archive.
Is there a public API call for getting the PGN of a *single* game?

I feel like this should be in the API, it's pretty straightforward and useful
I know this is late, but you can go to the game in a player's archive and parse out the PGN from the response, should be easy enough.

Yeah but it's just unnecessary computation right? why for-loop through every game a player's ever played to find one matching game ID, vs just giving the game id directly and getting a PGN in response? Seems like a sensible API endpoint, specifically getting a game vs being handed every game ever of a user
Given a URL such as:
https://www.chess.com/live/game/4893975413
I want to make a script that can download the PGN (I don't want to click on the download button manually). I have a list of game URLs from my club's ladder games, and I want to make a for loop that, in each iteration, would automatically get the PGN (or JSON data that includes the PGN). I've looked through the public API page but I didn't see a way to do this. I see ways to download multiple games given a date range and a player. But, I didn't see anything that would solve my problem. Am I overlooking anything and is there a solution? Thanks in advance!
