inside a real game.
Words per minute, high score, personal bests â all stored and ranked in real time. Built with LightLeaderboard and a single REST call per score.
Simple setup
From zero to live leaderboard
in three steps
01
Create your game
Sign in with Google, add your game in the developer portal. Assign a game ID that maps directly into your API URLs.
02
Generate an API key
Create a secure API key for your game â it's shown only once at creation. Store it safely in your game project.
03
Submit & display scores
Call the REST API from your game to submit scores and retrieve ranked leaderboards. One HTTP request is all it takes.
"That's it. Your leaderboard is live."
You just added multiplayer ranking to your game.
Simple integration
One request.
Player ranked.
Submit a score with a single HTTP POST. Retrieve a full ranked leaderboard with a GET. Works from any language, any engine, any platform.
Sounds small. Huge impact.
