Request for getting recent plays in general
Since there is no way of getting records of plays outside the top 50 or top 100, have a list containing up to 500 or so most recent plays done in osu!. This number is based on the recorded largest players online divided by 50 and might be in need of updating every now and then. Therefore, no more than 50 requests per minute should be needed to keep up with the list. Also a flag indicating whether the play is a highscore or not would be helpful.
What's the use case you have for this one?
This would open up the possibility of having a service that notifies whenever an notable score is made I guess, as well as an extensive external score log.
While it's impossible for osu!skills to get all of the previous plays, it will let us to get all plays starting from the time when the implementation goes live. And other uses include what nyquillerium mentioned.
+1 For this one, being able to get the latest best plays would open up a new way of creating notifications for users on our applications (like when you get a highscore and the app just tells you that, let's say you got rank 1 on that music).
