As part of this work I stumbled across an interesting piece of data - every game mode and map, when queried through the Halo Infinite API, would return some rudimentary telemetry data, showing the number of recent and all-time plays, along with number of ratings, bookmarks, and average rating. That is, if you make an API call and see what the data is, you will only have that moment to compare against because the API would not provide historical records of map and game mode performance. All of this led me down the path of building a Next.js application that queried the data API at build time and produced fancy charts in the output.
