So I just learned that you can get somebody’s profile by using:
https://www.roblox.com/users/profile?username=builderman
(Replace builderman with the desired username.)
Does anyone know if there is something similar for groups?
To clarify, I’m not talking about a search query. I’m talking about directly referencing a group by its exact name.
Unfortunately, GetGroupInfoAsync requires a GroupId. I’m trying to get a group by its exact name and nothing else.
Thanks anyway
Maybe this thread would help.
You could get group info from its name using that method.
There is the group API, /v1/groups/search/lookup
local HTTP = game:GetService("HttpService")
local groupName = "" -- group name
local data = HTTP:GetAsync("https://groups.roproxy.com/v1/groups/search/lookup?groupName="..groupName)
data = HTTP:JSONDecode(data)
if #data.data > 0 then
local group = data.data[1]
print(group.id)
end
This isn’t tested, but it should work.
It says it’s Error 403 (Forbidden) for me. The proxy used is probably the issue, but the functionality is what I was looking for anyway. Thanks you for the reference.
I’m not sure, but this request might require you to provide your ROBLOSECURITY. I have used this proxy for every other thing like inventory API, marketplace API, etc. so I can assure you that it works.
I’ll have to look into that later. For the time being, I only needed this to find an unlisted group. Thanks again
For sake of if anyone ever comes across this post looking for such a thing in the same way.
Step 1: Go to the V1 Group API Page.
Step 2: Scroll Down to Search Lookup
