I want to add online leaderboards to my upcoming game, I found a website which lets you do it for free, but I can't figure out what to do (or if it is even compatible with GameSalad...) Can anybody with API implementing experience help me incorporate it into my game? Many thanks!

Any particular reason you don't want to use Game Center/Google Play Game? Both are super easy to implement. Are you publishing to a different platform?
I don't develop for mobile any more, at the moment I'm wrapping my HTML5 games to EXEs for Steam.
They don't seem to have any API documentation without signing up. Do you happen to have a link? (I'll try to take a look this weekend after I get the 16kb alignment build out).
After doing some more research, I've signed up to Playfab for leaderboards instead because I've heard it's definitely compatible with GameSalad. I'm still lost on how to implement it though.
I've changed my mind again. I've found out it can be possible to actually use Steam's own leaderboard system which is what wanted to begin with.
I used to use nw.js to wrap my apps but no Steam APIs work with that, but I found out that if I wrap my apps with Electron, there is an API I can use for Steam leaderboards.
The API is here: https://github.com/jaredkrinke/ez-steam-api
I've downloaded it, and I think I've placed the files in the right place, I just need to know exactly what code to paste into my index.html to post a score to the global leaderboard.
My Steam app ID is "3905510"
My Steam leaderboard name is "HIGH SCORES"
The GameSalad score attribute I'd like to post is named "SCORE" with the id "id811758"
Any help is greatly appreciated!
