speedrun.io API — Release Notes

Notable Differences from speedrun.com's API

Guest and profile endpoints removed.
Every record carries both its original speedrun.com ID and a permanent speedrun.io ID, plus a meta.sources block declaring its license.
/v1/runs?orderby is limited to date, submitted, and verify-date. Other fields are filters, not sortable dimensions.
speedrun.com has no public user list. speedrun.io's is assembled from its own index and discovered through run submissions. An account with no submitted runs is not indexed.
The archive is static. No new data is currently being collected while the full meta source licensing system is built.

Leaderboards, personal bests, and embedding (?embed=) are not part of this release. See Current Status for what's planned.

Multi-field filtering, pagination, and response formats otherwise match or extend speedrun.com's API. See the v1 API reference for the full list of supported filters and sort fields per endpoint. Check the changelog below for notable additions, bug fixes and limitations.
