Python client for the Lichess API.
This is based on the original berserk version created by rhgrant10 and the berserk-downstream fork created by ZackClements. Big thanks to them and all other contributors!
Requires Python 3.8+. Download and install the latest release:
pip3 install berserk
If you have berserk-downstream installed, make sure to uninstall it first!
- handles (ND)JSON and PGN formats at user's discretion
- token auth session
- easy integration with OAuth2
- automatically converts time values to datetimes
You can use any requests.Session-like object as a session, including those
from requests_oauth. A simple token session is included, as shown below:
import berserk
session = berserk.TokenSession(API_TOKEN)
client = berserk.Client(session=session)Most of the API is available:
