OpenAPI Specification

  title: Chessigma Public Daily Puzzle API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: 'Free, no-auth API for the Chessigma chess analysis platform. Submit games (PGN) for analysis, read analysis results, compute Elo rating changes, and fetch the daily puzzle. Chess engine analysis runs client-side in the browser (Stockfish WebAssembly), so this API is compute-free: GET /game/{gameId} returns analysis only after a user has opened the game page and triggered it. No signup, no API key, no paywall. Global rate limit: 30 requests/minute across all callers.'
