Does anyone know a website where I can find properties of an object?
I am making custom Explorer and Properties menu for Roblox with the plugin but I cannot find any way to get properties,I have looked at a lot website for example
https://anaminus.github.io/rbx/raw/api/latest.txt
https://anaminus.github.io/rbx/json/api/latest.json
But they are outdated they dont have ViewportFrame.

You can use the following endpoint/link with HttpService to retrieve the latest api dump version.
http://setup.roblox.com/versionQTStudio
You can then use this version to request the appropriate JSON api dump from this other link, but replace VERSION
with the retrieved string.
http://setup.roblox.com/VERSION-API-Dump.json
The dump should contain everything from property names and types to (I believe) methods.
(They’re Roblox subdomains so you might need a proxy?)

Does this work on both studio and on server?

Yes, it does work in both server and studio.
I have made this tool for this task
New python project dropped
It takes the Roblox API dump and process it using pandas then convert it into lua tables to be used in lua scripts for reflection purposes like getting all the properties, events, callbacks, functions of roblox instances.
Open source of course, feel free to contribute!
This can be useful in roblox games for serialization/deserialization, inspection, reflection, etc…
Also for studio plugins like a custom Properties GUI
I may drop a video tutorial soon in my channe…
