FAQs
Does this require an API key?
No. The Speedrun.com API (www.speedrun.com/api/v1) is fully public and requires no authentication for read-only data.
What game abbreviations can I use?
Common examples: sm64 (Super Mario 64), oot (Ocarina of Time), celeste (Celeste), minecraft (Minecraft: Java Edition), portal2 (Portal 2). You can find a game's abbreviation in its Speedrun.com URL.
What is the difference between leaderboard and recentRuns modes?
leaderboard returns the top N ranked runs for the first (or specified) category of a game, ordered by time. recentRuns returns the most recently verified runs across all games, ordered by submission date.
How are co-op runs handled?
Co-op runs list all runner names joined by a comma in the runnerName field.
Are all times comparable? Only runs within the same game and category are directly comparable. Times use the primary timing method set by the game's moderators (real time, in-game time, etc.).
What is the rate limit? The Speedrun.com API enforces a rate limit with HTTP 420 responses. This scraper automatically waits and retries when rate-limited.
