Total games played vs time control

The API endpoints seem to be focused on data for a given player, is it possible to get data of just the total games played independent  of the user that played that game?  My goal is simply to look at (for the last month for example) the total number of games played for each available time control.  Maybe I am missing something obvious..     As an example, see this post: https://www.chess.com/article/view/interesting-chess-data-time-controls-and-game-results 

How did the user get this data? 

EDIT: The post I am referring to was made by a staff member, so perhaps this data is not available to public. 

Cheers!

Pretty sure the devs, database admins, or other staff tab the queries directly against the database for @erik so he could write the article. 

I believe at one point chess.com published the amount of games in each category, not sure if that's a routine occurrence now though.

@ninjaswat yeah
