Here are some thoughs on ways you could speed up search. These mostly revolve around getting the wsid of a user quickly and then calling the dd2 api with the wsid directly.

1. Use trackmania.io search api to get user info
   • This might be good depending on the quality of the search result
   • Docs here https://github.com/GreepTheSheep/node-trackmania.io/blob/develop/src/managers/PlayerManager.js#L85
   • Slightly relevant example https://github.com/GreepTheSheep/node-trackmania.io/blob/develop/examples/playerCOTD.md
2. Have a long living cache for all leaderboard pages and use that to get the wsid.
   • Would this be viable with the current hosting or would the process go to sleep and kill the cache?
   • If the api ges to sleep, this requires some form of storage/persistance.
3. Get all 100 pages in parallel instead of doing one at a time.
   • This would make it faster for lower ranked users, but slower for the top ones.
   • This would be a bit more technical to implement but should be doable.
   • There would be a higher strain of the dd2 api which might annoy the core team.

Hope any of this helps! I'm happy to discuss any of these if you want
