I made a visualization of the most active games on speedrun.com:

(thanks for the great API by the way!)

awesome video! i think it's interesting to see how so many games came out of seemingly nowhere

Neat. Does the API have the same "active players" criterion as the general list of games on the site? Specifically, I'm wondering if it has the same issue brought up in this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/m9orw

@hahhah42 I don't think the API shows the "active player" count anywhere (a search for "active" in the docs doesn't bring up anything: https://github.com/speedruncomorg/api/search?q=active )

For the video I just counted every recorded run by their listed game and date, which shouldn't run into this IL issue (unless ILs aren't stored as runs; I haven't confirmed that they are, but that'd be very unimaginable!)

Edit: okay I checked and ILs are indeed stored as runs

interesting how the site handles ILs and active runs

Neat. That was fun to watch.
