Game ID — keep it to 0 (zero) if you want to fetch information about all the collected games. Based on that response, you’ll be able to see and use specific game ids

The “score” object itself contains:
info = raw data extracted from the game (differ between the games)
score = SVR attempt to recognize and extract the score from the info object
customer = the customer associated with the SynthesisVR session. In a multi-station session, the data don’t necessary correlate with the actual player.
utcepoch = the UTC epoch when the leaderboard record is logged (you can look up the exact date/time in any programming language ; online example: https://www.epochconverter.com/)
