Are you sure you do not provide any APIs? The game comments and like counts API, for example: https://wwws.novelgames.com/en/games/getCommentInfos.php?shortName=fatherandson&count=50

@Piotr Grochowski we use these internally and we will change these without notice. We do not provide any APIs for third party use.

When I checked the game assets, 1.bin and 2.bin both contain game sounds, but in 1.bin they're 64kbps mono mp3 files (but some of them have ogg or wav extension despite them being mp3 files), and in 2.bin they're 112kbps stereo ogg files, yet despite most of them having mp3 extension! @Novel Games Is it deliberate that every sound is stored in two different formats and at least one of them has wrong extension every time?

@Novel Games What is the recommended way to connect games from outside the Novel Games website to the Novel Games account system and leaderboard to ensure that users can obtain Novel Games stars from it?
Since attempting to use the leaderboard submit function directly results in a cross-scripting error, I make users copy the script to the Javascript console of the Novel Games website in order to submit the score to the Novel Games leaderboard. Is there a better way to directly authorize Novel Games scores from outside the Novel Games website?

Why not? Your company can't afford to make a Novel Games account authentication API?
