Chessdotcom-go

An unofficial, simple, lighweight API wrapper for chess.com written in go

Usage

Complete Documentation can be found at https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ATTron/chessdotcom-go

    go get -u "github.com/ATTron/chessdotcom-go"

If you just need the JSON string

    import chess "github.com/ATTron/chessdotcom-go"

    . . .

    const username = 'hikaru'

    func main() {
        userStats := chess.GetUserStats(username)
        fmt.Println(userStats)
    }

If you want to use the JSON in a meaningful way in go I highly recommend using gjson

    import (
        chess "github.com/ATTron/chessdotcom-go"
        "github.com/tidwall/gjson"
    )

    . . .

    const username = "hikaru"

    func main() {
        userStats := chess.GetUserStats(username)
        blitz := gjson.Get(userStats, "chess_blitz")
        fmt.Println(blitz.String())
        rapid := gjson.Get(userStats, "chess_rapid.record")
        fmt.Println(rapid.String())
    }
