♟️ Lichess Chess Users Scraper

🚀 Export full Lichess player profiles in seconds. Multi-variant ratings, lifetime game counts, training scores, real names, and streaming links. No API key, no OAuth, no scraping HTML.

The Lichess Chess Users Scraper pulls full public player profiles from Lichess via its open public API. Pass a list of usernames and the Actor returns 50 fields per record, including ratings and game counts across 12 chess variants (bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, correspondence, ultra-bullet, chess960, king of the hill, three-check, antichess, atomic, horde, racing kings, crazyhouse), training scores (puzzle, storm, racer, streak), lifetime play time and TV time, real name, country flag, FIDE and USCF ratings, bio text, profile links, GM/IM/NM titles, patron status, and Twitch/YouTube streaming channels.

Lichess is the world's leading free and open-source chess platform with 14 million+ registered users, including most current top grandmasters playing under aliases. The official API returns rich profile data without authentication, making this Actor ideal for chess analytics, coaching platforms, tournament management, streaming dashboards, and esports research.

📋 What the Lichess Chess Users Scraper does

One simple workflow with rich output:

• 📋 Batch profile lookup. Pass any list of Lichess usernames and pull each profile in one run.
• 🎯 12 variant ratings. Bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, correspondence, ultra-bullet, chess960, king of the hill, three-check, antichess, atomic, horde, racing kings, crazyhouse.
• 🧩 Training scores. Puzzle rating and games, storm score, racer score, streak score.
• 📺 Streaming links. Twitch and YouTube channels for streamer aggregation.

Each record includes a stable user ID, profile URL, title (GM/IM/FM/NM/CM/WGM/etc.), patron flag, verified flag, profile flair emoji, account creation and last-seen timestamps, bio text, real name, country flag, FIDE and USCF ratings, profile links, lifetime play time in seconds, TV-watched time, total games (all, rated, win, loss, draw, import), per-variant ratings and game counts, and currently-playing game URL when the player is online.

💡 Why it matters: scraping per-player HTML pages on Lichess is fragile and slow. The public API is fast and stable, but most users only want clean structured rows for spreadsheets and dashboards. This Actor takes a list of usernames and returns a flat table ready to load into BI tools, training apps, or tournament-management systems.
