How to use Chess.com API with Python

I decided to mess around with Chess.com API and it was a lot of fun! Even though the API is read only, it was still packed with a ton of information.

With the API, you can see information about your Chess.com account, along with the stats. And, you can even stalk your favourite chess players by getting their Chess.com profile information as well (isn't the Chess.com API amazing??). You can also get a list of players based on their title as well as country and, you can even the get answer to the daily puzzle from the API! How awesome is that??

So, if you're a developer as well as a chess fan, then you should 100% try this API out. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with it.
