I am developing some automated tournaments using the API.
1 - Please confirm it is not possible to read or write a tournament chat using the Lichess API.
2 - If not possible, could the feature be requested. For example a GET lichess.org/api/swiss/{id}/chat.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, it's indeed not possible, what would be your usecase?

Would like to make some automated tournaments in which the winner could choose the next tournament opening (as a prize).

tournament chats are not made for that, you should instead build an UI for that on your website
You can create an issue on github/lichess-org/lila explaning your usecase but I doubt it'd be accepted

reading would be ok although rather niche. Writing would lead to annoying chat bots

Would it be acceptable for me to achieve the same effect using Axios? (Reading only)
prime island
that wouldn't be very nice
