Titled player toplists

Bots are treated as a bit second class citizens here on lichess. There are no official bot toplists or online bot lists. This prompted us in the bot community to request an API that can at least tell which are the bot players on lichess and thibault kindly created this API for us. Now we are able to cook up bot toplists and online bot lists by using older APIs that let query player profiles, and I created a page that makes use of this opportunity.

However this new API and the page can be used for all titled players, not just bots. So as a side effect you can create toplists for human players selected by title as well.

I share this page in case anyone may find it useful, feedback is welcome:

Cool stuff. Thanks!

#2 Thanks for these kind words.

Actually the page is now equipped with online status monitoring. So if you request online players, and there is a change in the list, the page detects this and auto refreshes.

Watch a live list of all online titled players:

fbserv.herokuapp.com/titled?titles=BOT,GM,WGM,IM,WIM,FM,WFM,CM,WCM,NM,WNM,LM&onlineonly=true&fontsize=20px

Now the page can show "playing" info ( providing a link to the player's TV if playing ).

This is already more than what lichess "online players" offers, because that latter does not indicate whether a player is playing or not.

Good stuff, thx!
