Phenomenal plugin @Falco 💚
Our community is integrated into a [bespoke platform](https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/coral-reef-protection-grow-green-fins-hub) that rewards community engagement as one aspect of an overall membership score, is there any chance that the cheers score could be exposed as part of the [adminGetUser API response](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Users/operation/adminGetUser)? Is there any alternative way to query this data from the API in the meantime?
We are getting feedback from users that it is hard to discover the leaderboard. I have added a custom hamburger link but it would be great if people could access the leaderboard by clicking on the score listed on their profile (both the popup and profile screen). I understand that a community can have more than one leaderboard but if we could nominate a leaderboard that the link points to that would be a reasonable workaround.
Are these two items something that could be added to the roadmap?

You can make a theme component to add a `onclick` function onto the elements to change the URL of the page to the leaderboard.

It’s already exposed at the public user info endpoint
```plaintext
curl https://meta.discourse.org/u/falco.json -s | jq . | grep score
"gamification_score": 83015,
```

That’s a great suggestion, added to roadmap.

I see that I can get a users All Time gamification score via the /u/[username].json API - but what about for a specific period? Also - is there anyway to get the DETAILS of the score (how may likes vs reads vs Solutions etc.)

That’s not possible at the moment. A possible workaround is creating a custom endpoint using [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) that receives a user and a time period and returns the score of the user from that period.
See [Run Data Explorer queries with the Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/run-data-explorer-queries-with-the-discourse-api/120063)

That’s not possible at the moment but something we plan on adding long term.
