Javascript API and Leaderboards

Developers
#1

Hi,

I need to implement a leaderborad in my HTML5 game. But I can’t find anything about leaderboards in Id.net Javascript documentation. Does your Javascript API support it?

Thanks!

Hi, Yes, the JS SDK does support scores.

To show Scores:

ID.leaderboard();

That can be called inside a jquery click event or where ever needed.

To Submit a score:

ID.api('leaderboard/submit', 'POST', {score: 123 }, function(response){
  console.log(response);
});

Keep in mind these should be called inside the id.net init event, to make sure ID is loaded first.

window.idAsyncInit = function() {
  ID.Event.subscribe('id.init', function(){
    put inside here...

EDIT: There is a new API for highscores. See the docs here http://dev.id.net/docs/javascript/game-api/#leaderboards-reference

ok. thanks!

another questions are how to make an autologin and how to get pid ?

#4

thanks to all for the answer! )

one more question. submitting a score does not affect on leaderboard. it has no any information.
( pid=“55f15c7cd5593049b000008d”, incoming response = null )

#5

Hi, the pid is returned after a user has logged in. There are examples here, http://dev.id.net/docs/javascript/the-basics/

For auto login in JS, you can test if a user is already logged in using Get Login Status, more details on the bottom of this page, http://dev.id.net/docs/javascript/auth-functions/

after submitting a score it should return {status: ok} if it worked, or an error if it failed. Are you sending pid and score when submitting?

#6

sure after auto login I send pid and score when submitting, but response = null.

p.s.: the links you sent on JS API docs do not explain a silent auto login without any windows.

#7

What does your code look like? for me it’s working.

#8

window.idAsyncInit = function ()
{
idnet_shell.prototype.init = function( _shell )
{
ID.Event.subscribe(‘id.init’, function ()
{ // this is an auto login I asked for…
$.ajax({
url: “https://www.id.net/api/user_data/autologin?app_id=” + app_id,
jsonp: “callback”,
dataType: “jsonp”,
success: function( dataAutologin )
{
if( dataAutologin.error )
{
_shell.init_cb( false, null );
}
else
{
var arr = [];
arr[0] = dataAutologin.sessionKey;
arr[1] = dataAutologin.user.nickname;
arr[2] = dataAutologin.user.pid;

					_shell.init_cb( true, arr );
				}
			}
		});
    	});

		// init the JS interface
		ID.init({ appId: app_id });
}

idnet_shell.prototype.show_leaderboard = function()
{
	ID.leaderboard();
}

idnet_shell.prototype.submit_score = function( _pid, _score )
{
	ID.api('leaderboard/submit', 'POST', { pid: _pid, score: _score }, function(response)
	{
		console.log(response);
	});		
}

};

now it returns:

code

-32099

data

Object { status=401,  data="{"error":"not_accepted_a...efore making requests"}"}

data

"{"error":"not_accepted_application","error_description":"Application has to be reviewed before making requests"}"

status

401

message

"INVALID_STATUS_CODE"

so submitting success depends on app approving status ?

#10

That is a bad way to login because it mixes 2 different authentications. Please use the links I sent in my second post.

I can approve your app, what’s the app id?

#11

the app_id is “55eed467e694aabeab000082”

#12

ok all set now. :smile:

#13

thanks! now it works! :smile:

sometimes when trying to show leaderborad I see warning window
and no way to return back to game. the same on desktop and mobile…

#15

I tested the game’s high scores and didn’t see the issue. Is it still happening? It may have been a temporary issue.

#16

yes, it is. I saw it each day. sometimes several times in a row.

p.s.: the point is that you can’t close that window to continue a game.

#17

Ok, thanks for reporting. I let the developer working on this feature know about the problem.

#18

Hi, we have a new leaderboards API for Javascript. See the docs here, http://dev.id.net/docs/javascript/game-api/#leaderboards-reference

#19

When i used ID.leaderboard(); - then leaders tabel show correct, but when i used new wersion leaderboards api ID.GameAPI.Leaderboards.list(options), then leaderboards doesn’t works?

#20

That code is depreciated. Better to use the newer high scores mentioned in a later post.
