Finding invisible runs

I think there's a lot of runs not showing up on this leaderboard: https://www.speedrun.com/bh2

The statistics page says there's 285 runs, but I can't find a lot of them, probably because the rules / categories have changed.

Is there a way to get a link to every run?

I tried using the API but my coding is bad so I'm having trouble. I found this link through the api, but it doesn't really help https://www.speedrun.com/bh2/run/y6we81z

it's including all of the individual levels run I assume, there are a lot of IL's for that game and a couple that have multiple runners, plus that many subcategories as variables is messy because every combination leads to different boards with different runs

I'm aware.

I'm confident there are missing runs.

There are both full runs and I/L runs missing.

Any% NG+ is an example. Dawgup has a 1st place time of 1:38:30 listed in his profile (https://www.speedrun.com/user/Dawgup), but it doesn't show up on the leaderboard no matter what category or filters you use.

There are many runs like this that are "invisible" for this game, and I'm trying to find all 285.

The Dawgup run is missing a sub-category (Unrestricted/Heavenly), so that may be your problem with the missing runs. If that is the case for the rest of the runs, then you could go under Variables, select that category's options and set the default for all runs without a value

when i have some time i'll go ahead and give that a try. hopefully that'll give me all 285 runs, but still, it'll take me a while to sift through the thousands of categories to find all 285 runs, so if anyone knows how to use the api for this, please help me out
