Chess.com Player Scraper 🐴

Scrape Chess.com player profiles, ratings, titles and stats at scale — no API key, no login, no proxies required.

Give the actor a list of Chess.com usernames and get back one clean row per player: display name, title (GM/IM/FM…), follower count, country, league, join date, last-online time, and rapid / blitz / bullet ratings, plus tactics and FIDE rating. Powered by the official public Chess.com Published-Data API, so results are fast, accurate and datacenter-proxy friendly.
