Just wondering if there is any way to get the time of the match?
Documentation suggests not at the moment. It would be great to be able to show the time the match occurred at to the end users.
Will never happen. Already confirmed by the 343 forum team in another thread.

Fair enough - I totally get that (and suspected so, but I couldn’t find the thread when I searched).
It would be cool if there was some sort of monotonically increasing match id (global or by gamertag - doesn’t matter).
I’m collecting all match data a player, and since there’s no way to determine a match’s “place in time”, it’s hard to backfill data. At the moment I just start at the top and go though the entire list to make sure I capture everything, in one hit. I can’t stop as there’s no easy way to know what I was “up to”.
Some sort of increasing ID number, plus a small change to the API (“matches > id” and “matches < id”) would let me present the initial results more quickly, and be able to backfill match data either on demand, or when otherwise idle.
