Fetch details of several games in a single request

[flovo]

I don’t think there’s an endpoint to mass-download games. The /games endpoint got limited to one game a while back, and nowhere on the website is the need to request the movetree for more than one game.

The termination API might allow you more requests per time frame:

Can we get an SGF database dump?

It’s not a quick nor easy thing to do a database dump, we use a cassandra cluster to store all the game state across several servers. The JSON api is a lot less intensive and provides you with the game data without the comments and all of that, simply hit https://online-go.com/termination-api/game/<id> and you’ll see the json. That endpoint you can hit faster, I’m not quite sure what the practical limit is though. I’d say start at 20/s and see how that goes - please reach out to me as you’re do…

Maybe you can use the socketio live API to collect the game trees.
