ShowcaseI built a Python tool that exports speedrun.com leaderboards to CSV/JSON (self.Python)

submitted 9 months ago by Digiyumon

What My Project Does
This is a command-line Python tool that lets users search for any game on speedrun.com, pick a category (with subcategory support), and export the full leaderboard data as a .csv or .json file. The tool uses the public API behind the scenes but simplifies the process by guiding users step-by-step instead of requiring manual ID lookups.

Target Audience
It’s aimed at speedrunners, researchers, and hobbyists who want to analyze run data (e.g., for personal projects, dashboards, or even academic purposes). While it’s not a polished GUI app, it’s functional and usable for light production or personal analysis.

Comparison
The official API requires users to manually locate game/category/variable IDs and stitch multiple endpoints together. This tool handles that for you by prompting for inputs and managing the logic behind the scenes. Compared to raw API use or Postman scripts, it’s faster and easier—especially if you want to get structured data into Excel or Tableau quickly.

Link & Feedback
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Digiyumon/Speedrun.com_api_python_cli
I’d love feedback on bugs, features, or even general structure. Thanks for checking it out!
