Fetching data from chess.com public API and exporting it.

my-chesscom-stats

Description and motivation

This projects demonstrates fetching data from chess.com public API. Currently, it can only export played games to a CSV sheet.
I think that owning the data you produce is a healthy idea. It can also be a lot of fun to analyze it and gain insights. After having some experience of doing data analysis with Python, I guess that CSV is an appropriate choice for exporting format, that's why the support for it was implemented primarily. However, the Exporter is hidden under the interface, so any kind of storage can be supported with no pain.

Chess.com do not currently provide the API for solved tactics, which is a pity.

Example

Exporting all games played by the USERNAME to FILENAME.csv only requires this setup:

import (
    "github.com/esimonov/my-chesscom-stats/exporter"
    csv "github.com/esimonov/my-chesscom-stats/exporter/csv"
)

func main() {
    dispatcher := exporter.NewDispatcher(USERNAME)

    csvExporter, err := csv.NewExporter(FILENAME, USERNAME)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
	  }

    exporters := []exporter.Exporter{csvExporter}

    if err = dispatcher.AllGames(exporters); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}
