## Retrieving the number of runs

The **Request Number of Runs** action retrieves the total number of runs a user has made on the leaderboard, optionally filtered by a specific map ID. It sends a request to the leaderboard API, appending the user ID and if provided, the map ID as query parameters. The response returns a count of the runs, which can be obtained using the **Get Number of Runs => number.** Once the number of runs is successfully retrieved, the **On Number of Runs Received** condition is triggered.
