Take me to your leaderboard [duplicate]

Question

Have you ever found a good challenge to answer, answered it and then found out somebody posted a solution with a better score in the same language?

Challenge

Write a program/function that takes a PPCG question ID and outputs a leaderboard.

A leaderboard consists of the rank, the language, the score, the author and the URL of each answer. This can be output as a newline delimited string, a list of strings, a "dictionary", etc..

• Rank
  • The rank of an answer is its position in the score hierarchy (lowest first).
  • Answers with shared scores must have the same rank.
• Language
  • The name of the language is always between the last # on the first line and the first ,.
  • It may be a link to documentation, which must be handled by taking the user-facing text.
• Score
  • The score of a answer is the last number on the first line.
  • It may be a decimal number.
• Author
  • The author of an answer is the display name of the user that posted it.
• URL
  • The URL of an answer will go straight to the answer.
  • URL shorteners are disallowed.

Specifications

• Standard I/O rules apply.
• Standard loopholes are forbidden.
• This challenge is not about finding the shortest approach in all languages, rather, it is about finding the shortest approach in each language.
• Your code will be scored in bytes, usually in the encoding UTF-8, unless specified otherwise.
• Explanations, even for "practical" languages, are encouraged.

3. Cubically, score 86.98 by Kamil Drakari (https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/137695)

^{*Note that this challenge has 3 answers, however the GolfScript answer doesn't have a comma in the header which makes it undefined behaviour.}

In a few better formats:

28821, 92944, 47604, 133793

28821 92944 47604 133793

28821
92944

Uses the HTMLAgilityPack.

There are probably better solutions to this using the StackOverflow API, but this is a raw HTML solution.
