Automated Speedrun.com World Record Tracking

Every morning, WebRun opens Speedrun.com, checks the leaderboards for the games and categories you cover for any new world record, logs each one to Google Sheets with the runner and time, and updates a Notion production note so your next highlight video has a ready made list.

In short

How do I get notified of new world records on Speedrun.com?

WebRun checks Speedrun.com every morning for new world records in the games and categories you cover, logs each one to Google Sheets with the runner and time, and updates a Notion production note for your next video. It never verifies or publishes anything itself, so a content creator spots new records the same day they are confirmed.

  • New world records are caught the same day they are verified
  • Video ideas start from a ready made Notion production note
  • A full record history builds up in Sheets over time

Questions, answered

Does WebRun verify or moderate the runs itself?

No. It only reads records already verified by Speedrun.com moderators. It never judges or approves a submission.

Does it publish or credit the runner automatically?

No. It only logs the record for your team to review. Publishing a video and crediting the runner is always done by you.

Can it cover more than one game at a time?

Yes. Add every game and category your channel covers and each gets checked for new records on the same run.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
