Number of players from each country

Hi!

Is there any convenient way of obtaining the number of chess.com members (or active players) from each country? Was thinking about making a small app displaying which countries has the highest per capita membership on a (heat)map. Not sure how viable this is via the API, though. If I try to use the "...country/{code}/players" endpoint I only get the first 10 000 players for any country that has more members than that.

There's no way I'm aware of. As you noticed, there's a cap on the number of entries returned for to the size of the data set.
