/fide could have an API for developers about lila HOT 4 OPEN

I think, as you said, it would increase unnecessary load to our sever.

And it's quite easy to develop a standalone service for it as well.

mm, I may have time to do it soonish.

I wouldn't mind if we added the API.

Not saying We should go with it, but I just having fun trying new things.

I'm using smithy with smithy4s to create design API (actually just copy what We have). It's really enjoyable process.

By just writing the smithy protocol and few lines of code, We can bootstrap the server and have openapi specification ready for us.

If anyone wants to try, just clone it and run:

sbt backend/run
open 'http://localhost:9000/docs'

I published this at: https://fide.thanh.se/docs/index.html. Anyone feel free to try (Just expand an endpoint, and click Try it out button) and give me feedback.

Currently only support /api/players endpoint with a lot of filters. Will support other endpoints eventually.
