Help with Chess.com API: Retrieve Elo vs. Number of Rapid Games

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use the Chess.com Public API to create a graph that shows the relationship between Elo and the number of games played, specifically for rapid games, for a few players whose usernames I know.

Here’s what I’d like to do:

For each player, retrieve their rapid Elo and the total number of rapid games played.
Plot these on a graph, with :

X-axis: Number of rapid games played.
Y-axis: Elo in rapid games.

Do you know if it's feasible and if yes how to do it?

Thanks a lot!

The Public API player stats endpoint includes the ratings and the wins, losses, and and draws so you could calculate total rated games that qualify for stats inclusion.
