🏁 Speedrun.com Leaderboards Scraper

🚀 Pull full-game leaderboards from speedrun.com in one run. Give it a game name and get every top run with place, player, time, platform, region, and video link.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-04 · 📊 16 fields per record · Any game on speedrun.com · Full-game categories

Speedrun.com is the central record book for the speedrunning community, tracking verified completions across thousands of games. This Actor turns any game's full-game leaderboards into a clean, structured table you can analyze, archive, or feed into your own tools.

Point it at a game by name and it resolves the game, walks every full-game category (such as 120 Star, 70 Star, Any%, or 100%), and returns the ranked runs with player names, finishing times, the platform and region a run was played on, the verification date, and the run video. Want a single category? Add a category name and it scopes to just that board.

📋 What the Speedrun.com Leaderboards Scraper does

This Actor reads the public speedrun.com API and returns the runs that make up a game's full-game leaderboards. It:

• Resolves a game from its name automatically (first match on speedrun.com).
• Lists every full-game category for that game, or just one if you name it.
• Returns each ranked run with place, player, finishing time, date, platform, region, video link, comment, and verification date.
• Resolves player names, platforms, and regions inline so you get readable values instead of internal IDs.
• Handles guest runners and multi-runner entries.

⚙️ Input

Example 1 — every full-game category of a game:

{
"gameName":"Super Mario 64",
"topN":50,
"maxItems":200
}

Example 2 — a single category, top 10 runs:

{
"gameName":"Super Mario 64",
"categoryName":"70 Star",
"topN":10,
"maxItems":10
}

⚠️ Good to Know: The game name resolves to the closest match on speedrun.com, so use the title as it appears on the site. Category names are matched exactly, so Any% and 70 Star must be spelled as shown on the game's page. The public speedrun.com API can be slow and rate-limits heavy use, so very large pulls take longer.

📊 Output

Each record is one ranked run on a leaderboard.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does this need an API key? No. It uses the public speedrun.com API, no key or login required.

How do I find the right game name? Use the title as it appears on speedrun.com. The first matching game is selected.

What is a full-game category? A leaderboard for completing the whole game under a ruleset, such as 120 Star or Any%. Individual-level boards are not included.

Can I scrape just one category? Yes. Set categoryName to the exact category name shown on the game's page.

Are individual-level (IL) runs included? No. This Actor focuses on full-game leaderboards.

Why is a video link sometimes empty? Not every run has a public video attached, so that field can be empty for some runs.

What do the times mean? runTime is an ISO 8601 duration and runTimeSeconds is the same value in seconds for easy sorting.

Are guest runners supported? Yes. Runs by guests appear with their guest name.

How many runs can I pull? Set topN per leaderboard and maxItems for the total. Free accounts are capped at 10 items.

Is the data verified? Each run includes the moderator verification date from speedrun.com.

Why is the run sometimes slow? The public speedrun.com API rate-limits heavy use, so very large pulls take longer.

Is this affiliated with speedrun.com? No. It is an independent tool that reads only publicly available data.
