Global rank on the osu! api V2

[minisbett]

I've been messing around with the osu! api v2 for the last hours and stumbled across something confusing.

The osu! api always returns "0" for the ranks of a score when receiving them using the /users/{user}/scores/best endpoint. Why is that? Has that field not been implemented yet as V2 is still WIP? Or is that information not available on that endpoint?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

EDIT: I found the issue, the documentation is incorrect. The field is called "global_rank" but the documentation says "rank_global".

EDIT 2: I looked up the wrong api request. In the response I got from the scores endpoint I didn't receive a field specifying the global rank, that's why it defaults to 0. Now my question is why is it not specified? Is that information not available on that endpoint for some internal reason?

As I said in email, it's very likely too expensive to return in that listing.

Where is the information global_rank available then?

In leaderboards.

what I mean is how could I receive the information of what rank on the leaderboard a certain score is? Would I have to check the beatmaps leaderboard?

Get the score ID. There is an endpoint to get score info with a given ID, rank will be available there
