Leader Board integration with Facebook API

News & General Discussion

Hi Guys,

I’m looking for an easy way to implement a leader board in my game without any back end programming.
The user will log in to his Facebook account using the Facebook API for unity (this is already done, I fetch the user ID, name and profile picture).

When the user is logged in, I need a way to upload his score online, and compare it with all other user while fetching their name , image (saved from Facebook API) and score.

I was able to do most of the tasks using APP42, where all the requirements are saved online. However, due to Facebook policy changes, I am no longer able to fetch the other users information, and additionally i did not find a way to get them from the APP42 database where they are already saved ( i was only able to get user id and score from the leader board table).

As a conclusion, I need a free online backend service which will hold my data (userid, name and picture) and allow me to modify it. If they have a leader board service also, that would be a plus.

Please give me your suggestions based on your experiences

Thank you

Gamesparks has a free tier if you are a small indie, they have leaderboards and a boatload of other backend features.

They also have a FacebookConnectRequest method that gives you any user info when you pass through the auth token, so it will work nicely for your needs.
