I'm trying to create my own challenge but I have a hard time trying to find a way to track my own rule set. I have no idea how to work with API yet.
1.) Is there maybe a website / addon which helps me filter the information from the statistic and/or achievement panel?
2.) Does this site accept new challenges? What is required in order to get a challenge accepted?

Working with the API involves coding of some kind (don't ask me specifics, I don't know how myself), and sorting thru the available stats could take some time to make it work. The API will roughly show the same statistics that can be found ingame.
I don't know any website that shows the statistics like the old armory did, but I can't say I've really try to find one
For a new challenge to be accepted, the rules must relatively simple, those have to be mostly trackable, there should be some challenge while not being too difficult either, and there should be a probability that many ppl will trying. Adding a challenge involves work, it is not just one click and voilà
I can try to get some info on the coding involved, if you're interested in that kind of stuff

There is some documentation at the Developer Portal at Blizzard.
As far as us accepting new challenges, I don't think it's a case of meeting any set "requirements". It's more of a Do we want to do this or not? Is the challenge actually trackable without having to rely on too many "Honor-only" rules? Among others...

I see, thanks for the answers!
I took a look at the statistics ingame, it's quite difficult to create a new challenge which is different than the ones we already have since we're limited in what can be tracked. Basically it seems to me that most of the rules I can come up with are untrackable (like starting with one equipment slot in classic and adding a new one each expansion).
It would be nice that some addon creators would work on addons which enable people to track specific achievements and statistics ingame. We have thousands of addons which add convenience to the game and I can't find many which do the opposite for players who enjoy challenges. I'm trying to get into addon creation but it looks overwhelming to me at the moment.
