## Interfaces

You can interact with Leaderboards and implement them in your application using the following interfaces:

* The [Unity Dashboard](https://cloud.unity.com/) to create and manage your leaderboards and view entries.
* Implement Leaderboards for non-MWU (Made with Unity) games using REST APIs.
  * Perform player actions with the [Client REST API](https://services.docs.unity.com/leaderboards/v1/).
  * Perform admin actions with the [Admin REST API](https://services.docs.unity.com/leaderboards-admin/v1/).
* Make calls to the Leaderboards service with the [CLI](https://services.docs.unity.com/guides/ugs-cli/latest/leaderboards/Leaderboards%20Command%20Line/overview/).
* Use the [Unity SDK](/leaderboards/get-started.md#unity-sdk-installation-and-setup) to implement leaderboards in your application.
* Implement Leaderboards functionality using the [Cloud Code](/cloud-code/latest/.md) service.
* [Deployments](/services/ugs-cli-introduction.md#use-deployments) are supported for the Unity Editor and the command-line interface (CLI).
  * Allows you to configure Leaderboards using files, instead of the Unity Dashboard UI.
  * Include these files as part of version control to minimize the Unity Dashboard context switching.
