Lichess for Dart

Pub Version Pub Version

This is a library for interacting with Lichess API. It works on all platforms and exposes a collection of data classes and a extendable client interface.

Notice: This is not an official Lichess project. It is maintained by volunteers.

Installation

  lichess_client_dio: ^<latest-version>

Import:

import 'package:lichess_client_dio/lichess_client_dio.dart';

Usage

The usage is pretty straightforward:

final lichess = LichessClientDio.create();
final user = await lichess.users.getPublicData(username: 'alexrintt');

// If you wanna make authenticated requests:
final lichess = LichessClientDio.create(accessToken: '<your-access-token>');
final email = await lichess.account.getEmailAddress();

Custom Dio instance

By default, this package uses fresh Dio instance for handling HTTP requests, if you want to provide a custom instance, use dio argument:

final myDioInstance = Dio();
final lichess = LichessClientDio.create(dio: myDioInstance);

Retrieve access token

TL;DR: This package doesn't handle authentication for Lichess.

That said, to get an access token for your platform and for your use-case refer to the Lichess authentication section.
