Good evening,

I've been trying to retrieve the exact setting for emulators for a game. It seems to only say whether emulators are banned or not. It won't say whether emulators aren't banned, but hidden by default.

Is there any way to retrieve this info?

About emulators, we had a topic about them, a long time ago https://www.speedrun.com/Speedrunning/thread/19h43

You'll probably find some answers about which emulators people uses in it, though things might have changed a little

Anyway, it's probably better to just ask the moderators of the game directly, just in case

The purpose for me is that I am trying to make a script that creates a summary of all PBs people got this month for a given game series (Pokémon for instance).

Now we want to feature the actual ranking people got and if they use hidden emulators what rank they got with that. For instance Pokémon Red allows emulators and shows them by default. Pokémon Platinum allows emulators but hides them by default. Pokémon X bans emulators.

So I want to know how I can retrieve the leaderboards given those settings.

There is no way to do it as far as I know. You can find out if a game bans or allow emulator runs using the games api endpoint and then pass the correct query to the leaderboards endpoints but that's it.
