FAQ

Questions Lichess.org owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI agent actually monitor a specific world championship game as it happens?

    Yes! Use the list_broadcasts capability to find the tournament and then identify the specific match ID. The agent will retrieve technical updates and moves directly from the Lichess official transmission feed.

  • 02

    Do I need a paid account to access the Lichess technical data?

    No. Lichess is a non-profit organization and all public data is free. However, providing a Personal Access Token (PAT) is highly recommended to ensure stable performance and higher rate limits during deep analysis sessions.

  • 03

    How do I see who are the top players currently competing in a specific variant like 'Crazyhouse'?

    Simply ask the agent to run the get_leaderboards or get_top_10_variant_leaderboard capability. It will retrieve the elite rankings for all supported variants, including the player's rating and title status.
