Bug: Leaderboard player returns null avatar object.

[BillTheBeast]

What doesn't work?

Player object in leaderboard endpoint returns null avatar object in the avatar field.

What is the endpoint and method? (if applicable)

Endpoint: leaderboard/player

Method: GET

How can it be reproduced?

1. Fetch the data with GET leaderboard/player
2. Check what the field in the player object are (avatar for example is blank here while fetching avatar data the "normal" way does return it.)

What should it do instead?

Return the avatar data in the avatar field.

Anything else you want to add?

Yes, I know this is likely intentional but since the field is there you should just include the avatar info.

The avatar field default value is set to null. This is why this field is null. There are no restrictions to not return this data from the /leaderboard/player GET endpoint.

The fix could be to set some default avatar value. Do you have such value in mind?

[BillTheBeast]

I can double check that, but the last time a checked, problem is that the value is null even though the values have been set.
Meaning fetching the data through player/ endpoint does give the correct avatar design trying to get it through the leaderboard endpoint gives null..

Actually, I might now why it did not work. The players leaderboard is updated twice a day, so you will not see the most recent data right away. It is done for optimizing the load and can't be changed, at least easily.

I can offer to update it more often, mb every 6h and it can be done easily. Or is it important to have always up-to-date data in the leaderboards, we can look into different solution then?

Right that slipped my mind, and updating the leaderboard more often is possibly not necessary.

However there is the fact that you are supposed to be able to check the clan info through the leaderboard and having the potentially incorrect logo can be quite confusing. We'll need to think about this.
