Any data source. One leaderboard.
BoardQ's REST API turns anything that can send a JSON POST — your CRM, your game server, your gym booking system, your AI agent — into a live, public scoreboard. Authenticate with a bearer token, push a score, and every screen connected to the board updates in real time.
Stop manually updating leaderboards.
Spreadsheets fall behind. Manual entry is forgotten. Webhooks fire reliably. If your tool already knows when a score changed — deal closed, lap finished, WOD logged, event booked — let it tell the leaderboard directly.
One source of truth
Your CRM, your game engine, your booking system already holds the data. Pipe it straight in — no manual sync, no stale numbers, no human in the loop.
Real-time, every screen
One API call updates the office TV, the team Slack embed, the OBS overlay and every spectator's phone simultaneously. WebSocket-powered.
AI & agent ready
Any LLM workflow, GPT function call, or Claude tool use can POST scores. Use the board as the visual output layer for AI-judged competitions or agent-driven rankings.
If it speaks JSON, it speaks BoardQ.
The API takes a board ID, a participant name, and a score. Send a JSON POST from anywhere — your backend, your Zapier workflow, your AI agent, your CRM's native webhook. No SDK to install. No client library to version-pin. Just HTTP.
- Bearer-token authentication via API key
- JSON payloads — same shape from every source
- Live updates pushed over WebSocket to all viewers
- Works in any language that can make an HTTP call
Give your AI agent a leaderboard to publish to.
LLM judges scoring outputs. Agents tracking content performance. GPT or Claude function calls grading support tickets, evaluating model runs, ranking submissions. The API is a standard HTTP endpoint — any AI workflow that can call a tool can write to a BoardQ board.
- OpenAI function-calling & Claude tool-use ready
- Evaluation harnesses can publish run leaderboards
- Agentic workflows get a public visual output
- Pair with structured JSON outputs end-to-end
No-code? Webhooks. No-webhook? Zapier.
Already pay for Zapier or Make? Pipe BoardQ into your existing automations in two clicks. Already have your own tool? Drop the BoardQ URL into your webhook field. The JSON shape is the same either way.
- Zapier & Make compatible via Webhooks module
- Native webhook support from Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive
- Trigger on form submissions (Typeform, Tally, Google Forms)
- Donation platforms, event apps, smart equipment
Pipe BoardQ into your existing stack.
Some integrations are one Zapier hop. Some are a native webhook. Some are a direct curl from your backend. None require us — or you — to build anything custom.
OpenAI & Claude
Function calls and tool use can POST directly. Publish evaluation runs, agent decisions, LLM judging output to a live board.
Salesforce
Fire a webhook on Opportunity Closed Won. Live revenue leaderboard on the sales floor TV without RevOps lifting a finger.
HubSpot
Workflow webhook on deal-stage change pushes the score. Sales team sees the leaderboard refresh between calls.
Zapier & Make
Webhooks module connects BoardQ to 6,000+ apps without writing code. Common starter for non-engineers.
Discord & Slack
Bots (discord.js, discord.py, Slack apps) POST scores on chat events. Embed the board back into channels.
Unity / Unreal / Godot
Drop an HTTP request on game end. Ship a global high score table without standing up a backend.
OBS / Streamlabs / vMix
Add the leaderboard URL as a browser source. Live overlay that updates with chat or stream events.
Mindbody / Glofox
Pipe gym member scores via Zapier or direct webhook. Live class-vs-class boards on the gym TV.
One endpoint. One request. You're done.
The fewer endpoints, the fewer surprises. Push a score with a single POST. Read a board with a single GET. Embed with an iframe. That's most of what most users ever need. Full reference in the docs for edge cases — auth scopes, rate limits, error shapes.
- POST /v1/scores — write a single score to a board
- POST /v1/scores/batch — bulk-write multiple scores at once
- GET /v1/boards/{id} — fetch current standings
- iframe /embed/{id} — drop the live board anywhere
# That's it. That's the whole integration.
curl -X POST https://api.boardq.io/v1/scores \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BOARDQ_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"board_id": "leaderboard",
"participant": "Luna",
"score": 322
}'
# Response: 200 OK — board refreshed on every screen.Boring API. Exciting boards.

Developer questions.
How does the API work?
Standard REST. Bearer-token auth, JSON payloads, HTTP status codes. POST a score, the WebSocket pushes the update to every viewer. No SDK to install — any language that can make an HTTP request works.
What tools can I integrate with?
Anything that can send an HTTP POST. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Mindbody, Discord bots, OBS, Zapier, Make, Eventbrite, Typeform, custom game engines, AI agents, your own backend.
Is the API free?
Yes. API access is included on the free plan with reasonable rate limits. Premium ($6.99/month) raises limits and unlocks unlimited boards for production use.
Can an AI agent push scores?
Yes. The API is a standard REST endpoint, so any LLM workflow, GPT function call, or Claude tool use can submit scores. Useful for AI-judged competitions, eval harnesses, or agentic ranking pipelines.
Does it work with Zapier?
Yes. Use the ‘Webhooks by Zapier’ module to POST to the BoardQ endpoint. Or use Make / n8n — same idea, same JSON shape.
How do I embed a board on my site?
Every board has a public URL you drop into an iframe. Works on websites, Notion, Slack, OBS as a browser source, intranets — anywhere iframes render.
Five lines of curl. Live in production.
Free API access on the starter plan. Grab a key, read the docs, ship before lunch.
