I'm only interested in move times in downloaded games. The only way I know how to get these, is to download analysed games, but then I also get suggested moves and sidelines. I rather do my own analyses of the game afterwards.
Is there a method to download games with only the moves and move times?
You can do this with Lichess API:
lichess.org/api#tag/GamesFor example:
Single game (note that clocks and evals here are available by default):
lichess.org/game/export/YO3ICtJi?evals=falseAll classical rated games (note that clocks, evals are not available by default):
lichess.org/api/games/user/msiipola?perfType=classical&rated=true&clocks=trueThanks for the answer.
But I had some trouble downloading single games. The API document says the game ID is 8 characters long, but the url to the game contains an id which is longer.
For example:
Game url: (url-lichess.org)/6uaBSKABq9bK
Game id is first 8 charcters: 6uaBSKAB
Download is:
lichess.org/game/export/6uaBSKAB?evals=false
