+title: Chess.com
+description: dlt pipeline for Chess.com API
+keywords: [chess.com api, chess.com pipeline, chess.com]
+---
+
+# Chess.com
+
+This pipeline can be used to load player data from the [Chess.com API](https://www.chess.com/news/view/published-data-api) into a [destination](../general-usage/glossary.md#destination) of your choice.
+
+## Initialize the pipeline
+
+Initialize the pipeline with the following command:
+```
+dlt init chess bigquery
+```
+Here, we chose BigQuery as the destination. To choose a different destination, replace `bigquery` with your choice of destination. 
+
+Running this command will create a directory with the following structure:
+```bash
+├── .dlt
+│   ├── .pipelines
+│   ├── config.toml
+│   └── secrets.toml
+├── chess
+│   └── __pycache__
+│   └── __init__.py
+├── .gitignore
+├── chess_pipeline.py
+└── requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Add credentials
+
+Before running the pipeline you may need to add credentials in the `.dlt/secrets.toml` file for your chosen destination. For instructions on how to do this, follow the steps detailed under the desired destination in the [destinations](https://dlthub.com/docs/destinations) page.
+
+## Run the pipeline
+
+1. Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+2. Now the pipeline can be run by using the command:
+```
+python3 chess_pipeline.py
+```
+3. To make sure that everything is loaded as expected, use the command:
+```
+dlt pipeline chess_pipeline show
+```
+
+## Customize parameters
+
+Without any modifications, the chess pipeline will load data for a default list of players over a default period of time. You can change these values in the `chess_pipeline.py` script.
+
+For example, if you wish to load player games for a specific set of players, add the player list to the function `load_player_games_example` as below.
+```python
+def load_players_games_example(start_month: str, end_month: str):
+
+    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(pipeline_name="chess_pipeline", destination='bigquery', dataset_name="chess_players_games_data")
+
+    data = chess(
+        [], # Specify your list of players here
+        start_month=start_month,
+        end_month=end_month
+    )
+
+    info = pipeline.run(data.with_resources("players_games", "players_profiles"))
+    print(info)
+```
+To specify the time period, pass the starting and ending months as parameters when calling the function in the `__main__` block:
+```python
+if __name__ == "__main__" :
+    load_players_games_example("2022/11", "2022/12") # Replace the strings "2022/11" and "2022/12" with different months in the "YYYY/MM" format
+```
