List of past arena tournaments

I cannot find a list of, say, all "Daily Blitz Arena" tournaments of 2023. Is there a way to get such a list?

Background: For a research project I want to analyse arena tournament games. If I download all lichess games of a month, it is impossible to identify the games from, say, "Daily Blitz Arena" without knowing the link to the tournaments as only the link and not the type of tournament is mentioned in the pgn header.

Thanks for any pointers!
There's also lichess.org/tournament/history/hourly which I find interesting because it lists this one lichess.org/tournament/6tSWPqEz and then it lists this as the previous one lichess.org/tournament/2vV7f6cd

It does not list this one, even though it occurred between the above two, it's by @lichess and it's called Hourly Crazyhouse Arena lichess.org/tournament/2l57CLAy

In fact, it appears that the answer to the question "When is an Hourly not an Hourly?" as of today is "never". I for one would like to know why that is...I seem to recall something similar happening on at least one occasion for no particularly good reason.

Still, there remain two distinct events on different days with different time controls both known as "The Weekly", so I guess eliminating potential for confusion can't be the reason

So TLDR is that the "hourly" zh arenas are every 3 hours and the "weekly" ones are twice a week? Got it!

OK April 1st is over now, can whoever stole the actual (hourly) hourly crazyhouse arenas PLEASE return them now?

Thank you! xxx

I think it would cause lots of lag if very variant had hourly tournaments every hour

Also u cant just make one variant every hour and leave the rest the same
