Warning

This is an extension made by a community member and it only got through a light review by the GDevelop extension team. As such, we can't guarantee it meets all the quality standards of fully reviewed extensions.

Support for Gamejolt API.

It features the complete API:

  • Trophies and leaderboards
  • Sessions and server time
  • User connection and friends
  • Data storage
  • Test user

Be careful: most of the actions are Asynchronous !

The request result is stored in a Scene variable of your choice that you can use later.
