Ask HN: Is there any game score API? Or "game as a service"?

[napsterbr]

Hi everyone,

I want to embed some games (flash, html5, ...) to my site, but I need to get the player stats inside these games. Do you know any solution to this?

I came across MochiMedia, and while this seems to have a suitable API for custom scoring, it is shutting down in one week.

(It does not need to be an ad network, necessarily, I just need a way to access game scores.)

Thanks in advance

      SELECT User
      FROM  Score
      WHERE value > n
      ORDER BY value

I guess you didn't get it. The game would be embedded on my website, either with a specific .swf or .js. The scores would communicate with the hosting site (e.g. Kongregate) and I would need to receive back this information (via ajax or whatever way).

Kongregate does have an API, but it is for game developers only, not for those who embed the game. (Though I contacted them to verify this).
