How would I make a discord.js command which fetches the amount of members in a specific Roblox group? I was given this but I have no idea where to start…
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Take a look here: https://api.roblox.com/docs#Groups

If you are using discord.js, you can easily use something like the node.js http module to fetch data from a given URL.
Honestly, this still makes absolutely no sense to be. Which package would I use and how do I start off my code?
Ok give me a few mins to get an example up
Alright.

Ok, (sorry it took so long I went afk).
I threw together a rough example using request in node.js (its a lot simpler than using http.get) and here is what I tried:
var request = require("request"); // You have to install this and include it in your package.json
const groupID = 6151151; // ID of your group goes here
var URL = "https://groups.roblox.com/v1/groups/" + groupID;
function getData(field)
{
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
request(
{ uri: URL },
function(error, response, body)
{
if (response.statusCode == 200) resolve(JSON.parse(body)[field])
else reject("Something went wrong!") // obviously put a more descriptive error message
}
);
});
}
getData("memberCount").then((count) => console.log(count)).catch(e => console.error(e)) // prints 13 (see screenshot below to see full data)
I tested this and it works. It might not the best way to do this (my nodejs is rusty lol) but until someone provides a better answer you can use it 
Note, if you want to get a different field from the URL, just change the parameter of “getData” like so:
getData("name").then((name) => console.log(name)) // prints "Dairy Queen | Happy Tastes Good"

Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate you taking up your time to do that for me!
