DataStore Key Listing Help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I have a UI Where I would like it to show a list of all the banned players from a DataStore, Basically I would like it to list all the keys from the DataStore. How can I do that because the script I made it tells me “DataStores cannot be access by the client”

I asked a friend to make this script

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local BanList = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("BannedPlayers")

local function createTextLabel(key)
	local textLabel = script.ListItem
	textLabel.Text = key
	textLabel.Parent = script.Parent
end

local function handleListKeys(keys)
	print("List of keys in BannedPlayers DataStore:")
	for _, key in pairs(keys) do
		print(key)
		createTextLabel(key)
	end
end

local success, error = pcall(function()
	BanList:ListKeysAsync(nil, 50):andThen(handleListKeys):catch(function(err)
		warn("Error listing keys:", err)
	end)
end)

if not success then
	warn("Error:", error)
end

You can use a remote function and check if the sender is eligible to view the banned players (the admins/moderators of your game) and return the list of banned player userIds and convert the UserIds to username if needed

I don’t think DataStore returns promises, they return DataStoreKeyPages that functions the same as your regular Page object

Are you able to write the script for me please?
