"WhiteElo": 1500,
"BlackElo": 1400,
"WhiteRatingDiff": 10,
"BlackRatingDiff": -10,
"ECO": "C50",
"Opening": "Italian Game",

Human versus Bot Players
The source data comes from games played on Lichess.org, an online platform where users from around the world play chess. This database does not distinguish between human-and bot-played games. However, it's reasonable to assume games played before April 2018 were overwhelmingly played by human players since Lichess.org released its bot api on April 1st, 2018.
