API key limit
How can we work around the League API key rate limit? With the current limit of 100 requests every 2 minutes, it’s impossible to fetch a player’s full year of games. For high-activity accounts (for example, pro players), we can barely retrieve the last month’s matches, making year-long analysis impractical.
We would estimate that each player needs about 500-1000 API called to get each meaning full data for a year.

Hi there- you're good to pre-fetch and cache the data you need ahead of time rather than relying on live API calls during the demo!
And for the demo itself, it’s totally fine to use cached or mocked data, just make sure it matches the API schema and call that out in your write-up!
