Can you please help me with an idea how to get the summoner names of players in recent games ?

Hello,
I am building a project, but I'm having difficulties with obtaining all the summoner names in recent games. Getting the summoner ids is easy and clear to me, but I dont have an idea how to get the coresponding summoner names without making numerous requests. Would you please point me in a direction of how to do this, what is the best way, what methods should I use. Thanks in advance :)

I honestly haven't had the free time to build anything on top of this yet. If the actual summoner name isn't in the JSON being delivered from recent matches, you probably do need to do a bunch of getSummoner() calls. If you were building a bigger app, you will need to get permission from riot as an approved app for more calls to the api. I would also build in caching/store summonerID/name to a database. Since there is restrictions on calls within 10 seconds, a queue might also be necessary so you don't break the limit. Building a queue to handle the rate limiting is one of the to-do items for this project. If you do actually go about adding it, it would be really nice if you could contribute it here for everyone. Otherwise, when I get some free time in the future, I will add it.

Thanks for advice. I'd be glad to help if I can. Unfortunetly I'm a self learner and despite I'm having some knowledge in php I doubt I can be as usefull as I wish. Anyway if I come up with something I'll be glad to share it here.
