The problem
Leaderboards are deceptively hard to get right.
A naive implementation breaks under concurrent submissions. Add seasons and teams and you're managing complex query logic. Add anti-cheat and you've just signed up for an ongoing arms race. All of that before you've shipped a single feature players actually care about.
LightLeaderboard handles all of it — deduplication, personal-best tracking, rate limiting, HMAC verification, and webhook dispatch — so you make one API call and move on.
POST /api/v1/games/my_game/scores
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY

"playerRefId": "player_001",
"playerName": "Alice",
"submissionId": "session_abc"

Every feature. Every plan.
Global & Player-Centric Rankings
Fetch the top-N leaderboard or center it around any player — show them exactly who they're behind and who they're beating.
Seasons & Time Filters
Attach a season ID to every score submission. Query all-time, weekly, or monthly boards independently — no schema changes needed.
Teams & Guilds
Every score can carry a team ID. Filter any leaderboard by team to show guild rankings alongside global ones.
Anti-Cheat Security
HMAC signature validation, configurable min/max score bounds, and per-player rate limits keep manipulated scores off the board.
Webhooks
Get an HTTP POST to your server the moment someone claims #1 or sets a personal best. Wire up push notifications, Discord bots, or anything else.
Analytics Dashboard
Track score volume, active players, top countries, and rank momentum — all inside the portal without setting up a separate analytics stack.
Player Profiles
Store name, avatar URL, country, level, and device per player. Pull the full profile alongside any score in a single query.
Data Export
Export your full leaderboard data as JSON at any time. Your data is always yours — no lock-in.
