Getting my game visit data

Continuing on from Is there a way to collect game visit data?

So today Arsenal reached 1 billion visits (congrats, btw) and I noticed that the number in the top left corner (amount of visits) kept changing, and now that my game is about to reach 1000 visits, I want to do a countdown like that…

The thing is, I’ve never used HttpService and I learned a bit about it but not enough. I looked at the topic at the beginning of this post, but that hasn’t been solved.

Please help! Thanks!

I unfortunately wouldn’t like to spoonfeed you the whole code but I’ll give you an example of how you can retrive your game data from an API

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local API_URL = "https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=" .. game.GameId -- API that you want to get from
local Data = HttpService:GetAsync(API_URL):JSONDecode()

How about use PlayerAdded, MessagingService instead of HtppService. Like everytime a player is added you send a message to all servers and add a value of some sort

You may be able to use Google Analytics, hopefully this is something that can help you.

So, will Data be the number of visits (most likely not) or would it be like Data.Visits or something?

Since I never found a solution to this I just let the game reach 1K visits.

Even though I have reached 1K visits, I still need to know how I can collect game visit data.

I’ve tackled this problem in the past. What I found to work best was to create a quick command in my discord bot that returned the game statistics using the Roblox Games API. Then with the JSON all I did was parse through the contents for the stats I wanted.

The most important thing to know about using JSON in data transmission is its hierarchy. Here’s a good article for handling JSON in your code.

Thing is, I literally just got discord and I’m only good in Roblox Lua.

Could you send a link to the bot or something?

It uses the same methods as @T_eethyz for the most part. The only thing you need to know is how to extract the proper information from the JSON.
