About

Working with FIDE oficial data is not simple, mainly because they don't have an API. That's the reason I made a simple API with FastAPI to scrape the data from their own website and provide it as JSON over HTTP requests.

Features

Check it on: https://fide-api.vercel.app/docs

• Get top players list
• Get player info
• Get player history
