Duck Chess Rating History API

I'm not seeing my Duck Chess rating history in "Complete Monthly Archives" API responses (presumably because variant games are not Live Chess games):

Could you please offer a Duck Chess rating history API?

Games from the the Variants server aren't available through the API. I don't know if there are plans to add that feature either.

Thanks, I don't necessarily care about the games themselves, just the rating history for purposes of producing a graph to track my progress and share with friends.

I could have been a little clearer, none of the variants from the variants server are in the API. Just those that are on Play. In that latter case, only those games/ratings from Play are included.

Sure, thanks again for the clarification rephrasing my initial question (with the added context explaining why ratings are not available).

What I am inquiring is whether Chess.com could offer a lightweight API for stated reasons... heck, I'd contribute the server code if I had to.  Currently the only way I can track my rating is by developing a spider or browser extension.

You could create a topic there about it, but with variants being updated all the time, I don't know how likely it would be to get added.
