I was wondering how I could get the number 1 score on top of the leaderboard as a var in Unity.

Calling GetLeaderboard with the StartPosition set to 0 will always return the top entries in the leaderboard, as shown in the example, here: https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Client/method/GetLeaderboard.
So is that StartPosition?
On a slightly seperate note, it says that that is an int32, does this mean a highscore cannot be a float?
Sorry, yes - StartPosition. I'll update the response above, to clarify. And yes, as in other services like PSN and XBL, leaderboards are generated from int values. If you want to have floating point values, you would need to store them using an int value (multiplying them, for instance), and then do the math conversion when displaying the scores to the player.
Ah, cheers for you help!
Oh hold on a minute, just rereading your first comment, just to clarify, will returning start position 0 just get me one int value which is number 1 (or technically 0) on the leaderboard as a var?
All scores have a position in the leaderboard, with that position being zero-based. And the scores are always listed in ascending order, so if you have players with scores of 1, 2, and 3, they would be returned as:
Position 0 - score 3
Position 1 - score 2
Position 2 - score 1
Ah okay, so if I did (obviously this isnt correctly written, but Im sure you get the idea):
var TopScore = GetLeaderboard.Position.0
Then TopScore would = 3
Correct, the value for the entry in position 0 would be the highest score on the leaderboard.
Fantastic!
