SocialLeaderboardDataRequest

Returns leaderboard data that only contains entries of players that are game friends with the current player.

The GameSparks platform will attempt to return players both ahead and behind the current player, where data is available.

The entry count defines how many player should be returned both ahead and behind. The numer of results may vary if there are not enough friends either ahead or behind.

offset	No	number	The offset into the set of leaderboards returned
social	No	boolean	If True returns a leaderboard of the player's social friends
