Getting wins / participation from an arena tournment.

I've figured out how to get the results from a swiss tournament from the API, but I haven't found a way to get the results from an arena tournament. 

For example, is there any way to get the results from here:

https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2160844

Also, is there any way to get rank from the Swiss tournament?  The player who comes in first is the "winner", and the players are listed from first to last, but there is no indication of a tie, for example a tie for 2nd.

You can manually download the crosstables on a Swiss event that includes place and rank.

 

Does this not work for Arenas for you? https://www.chess.com/news/view/published-data-api#pubapi-endpoint-tournament-profile

The problem is I can't seem to find the uID for an arena. 

I pulled up my own username, and it doesn't appear to even list arenas in tournaments I played.   I posted an arena above, what would be the uID for it?

Also, when you said manually, do you mean I have to screen scrape the results table from the website to get the results? That seems rather awkward.

I did find a way to get ranks.  If you get the users in a tournament, then go to user/tournaments, it tells you where each user placed in which tournament.  Still really awkward, because the tournaments are listed by link instead of by uID, but at least the information is there. 

For arenas, I don't think they actually exist in the API. Even the PGN lists "live" chess instead of the tournament the player was in.
