Hi, dear chess lovers,

I'd like to ask chess.com to offer public API of puzzle rating of users. I'm a chess coach and ask my kids to solve chess puzzles at the site every week. I really love to track their growth and kids are really exciting when I announce their achievement. If I can have the public API, that will definitely save a lot of manual work from me and my colleagues.

Thank you

Best regards

But it doesn't exist, does it?
I came to the boards today to also request this feature and found this post. 
Read the details in the link supplied. That only shows a way to get a player's puzzle RUSH score and highest and lowest tactics scores. I'd like to see the https://www.chess.com/puzzles/rated score in the API. Where do we post to request that? How to get staff to respond to this request?

Please don't spam the boards. If you want something explained then ask and wait for an answer. If you don't get the answer do your own research but don't spam the message boards.

For those who are interested in the puzzle API as I do, I reached out to the chess.com staff and got some feedback earlier. They are aware of it and replied me with this.

We are interested in expanding the endpoints of our public API and I've added this to our list. When we're able to add new endpoints, there will be an update here: https://www.chess.com/club/chess-com-developer-community
 
I appreciate you reaching out! I am always keen to hear about new things we can add to support our community.

You only asked for a way to see the rating, which is what that endpoint provides.

What exactly are you wanting to find in a puzzle endpoint? I don't imagine solved puzzles won't be provided, as the endpoints don't update live and it would make it easier to scrape puzzles from the system.

"Current puzzle rating" is what I'd like to see. Go to your puzzles and look at your current rating. Then go to the API. When I did that I couldn't find the same number.

The API endpoints update on a schedule and won't necessarily match at any given time, depending on when the last time the endpoint updated and when the last tactics were completed.

From the API documentation:

  • Cache invalidation: This endpoints refresh at most once every 12 hours

Though, now that I'm looking more closely, the last rating doesn't show and isn't documented as being available 🤔
