I've been creating my own sort of friend request service using playfab. I began integrating it with the stats and leaderboard code and realized oddly that some GetFriendLeaderboardAroundPlayer equivalent is missing from the server API.
I'm just curious why this is the case and if there is any proposed workaround? Off the top of my head I can think of querying the regular leaderboard for the player's position and then using GetFriendLeaderboard, however this seems overly difficult. Am I missing something, or is that functionality just not built out server side?
Thanks in advance!

In most cases the client needs such a function, so only the client API GetFriendLeaderboardAroundPlayer is currently available. If you need a server version, please feel free to post a feature request for it.
Currently, you may need to call API GetFriendLeaderboard to get all friends’ leaderboard, and then select the required data according to the current player’s position.
