No, that's the only method of doing that the site provides.
Is bulk downloading games possible?

this gives links to a player's monthly games. from there you can get all of the games that they have played in each month. I have been trying to figure out a way to bulk download my games with the chess.com analysis in the pgn comments but have been unsuccessful so far.

too slow, this would take over 100 days

... I don't think so. If you had player's usernames, you could easily get thousands, if not tens of thousands, games per minute. I'm not sure if you are talking about writing a script to automate this, or if you want to do it by hand.
I am looking for ways to bulk download game PGNs, but the closest thing I found is using the countries api to get 10k users per country and download all of their games using the player archive API. However this is absurdly slow and ideally I'd like to download several billion games. Am I missing some official way to do this? Does chess.com sell that kind of data for reasonable prices?
