Leaderboard "Get Top N Rankers By Group" Method return empty list.

Question

For Get Top N Rankers By Group method, it takes 2 paramenters, one gameName and one userList.

If the userList size is small, the function works fine. Currently I am facing a problem, when userList size is big(around 850), the returned game object will contains no user. What is the reason behind this? Is there a hard limit on the list?

Hello Tianyi,

 

Kindly integrate the latest sdk version in your project to find the top n ranker in your game.

 

Also, we would suggest you not to request more then 100 records because it is making a effect on your app. Please use top 10 or top 20 values only to make it more responsive client app in single API call. You can use paging if you want to fetch more rankers beyond that. 

 

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I will try the new SDK.
The reason why I am using "Get Top N Rankers By Group" method is because I am trying to achieve social leaderboard, which the leaderboard only contains current user's friends, instead of all the user in this game.
Some user has a lot of friends, is there a better way to achieve this?
