lishogi

# Introduction Welcome to the reference for the Lishogi API! Lishogi is free/libre, open-source shogi server forked from lichess powered by volunteers and donations. Currently this page is a work in progress, certain information here might be wrong and incorrect! Expect it to be done during 2022. - Get help in the [Lishogi Discord channel](https://discord.gg/YFtpMGg3rR) - [Contribute to this documentation on Github](https://github.com/WandererXII/lishogi/blob/master/public/doc/lishogi-api.yaml) - Check out [Lishogi widgets to embed in your website](https://lishogi.org/developers) ## Endpoint All requests go to `https://lishogi.org` (unless otherwise specified). ## Rate limiting All requests are rate limited using various strategies, to ensure the API remains responsive for everyone. Only make one request at a time. If you receive an HTTP response with a [429 status](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#429), please wait a full minute before resuming API usage. ## Streaming with ND-JSON Some API endpoints stream their responses as [Newline Delimited JSON a.k.a. **nd-json**](http://ndjson.org/), with one JSON object per line. Here's a [JavaScript utility function (for lichess)](https://gist.github.com/ornicar/a097406810939cf7be1df8ea30e94f3e) to help reading NDJSON streamed responses.
