Good to know

  • All endpoints are read-only and need no account or API key.
  • Only completed games played on ChessUrge are public. Uploaded games, notes, analysis, tags and share tokens are never exposed.
  • Pagination is capped at 100 records per page; invalid parameters return a JSON 400.
  • Responses send public cache headers, and browser clients may call the API from any origin.
  • Tournament slugs and usernames are required path values; unknown values return 404.
