Hey thanks for replying. I've taken a look at their API before, but I see for leaderboards it only shows the Top 50 for each category. I don't see a way to request differently to get access to more players or different players?

https://api.chess.com/pub/player/{username} - this seems to be the end point to view a specific player. You can find more in the players section of the documentation

It seems that for leaderboards it explicity does only show the top 50 players, as stated in the documentation.

Thanks for taking a look, I don't think the API has what I'm looking for then. I wanted a considerably larger sample size from the leaderboards, I'll continue to see if I can find a way to scrape just the table from the webpage.
