easy high scores

High scores API for apps/games/websites. This was a free service I ran for a while to support game jammers :)

Features

• Open source
• Beginner friendly
• One-click instant setup
• RESTful API (GET/POST/DELETE)
• A shareable public code, allowing read-only access
• JSON-based, compatible with the latest standard
• An additional simple API relying solely on GET requests
• Submit scores and get updated score-list with one request
• Return top x scores (sorted by numerical data, scores may contain letters)
• Capped at 2000 scores per user, after which the lowest scores get bumped
