Group Member Count Not Showing Up

[kvautme (SpooderDev)]

I’m trying to get group info in Roblox, but the member count isn’t coming through “Owner User Is working”. Here’s the script I’m using:

groupInfoRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, groupID)
	print("Received request for group ID:", groupID)

	local groupInfo = game:GetService("GroupService"):GetGroupInfoAsync(groupID)

	if groupInfo then
		local memberCount = groupInfo.MemberCount or "N/A"
		local groupData = {
			Owner = groupInfo.Owner.Name,
			MemberCount = memberCount
		}
		groupInfoRequest:FireClient(Player, true, groupData)
		print("Group Data:", groupData.Owner, groupData.MemberCount)
	else
		print("Failed to retrieve group info.")
		groupInfoRequest:FireClient(Player, false, nil)
	end
end)

Can anyone help me figure out why the member count isn’t showing up?

I am looking at the documentation for GroupService and I am not seeing anything in the table here that would lead me to believe that groupInfo.MemberCount is a method that exists. It seems that you are trying to reference something which is not part of the table returned by calling :GetGroupInfoAsync().

Check out these threads for more information on how you can get this information using HttpService!

How do I make a live group member count?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions: I want a GUI that shows the live update of my groups members count I have looked everywhere but everything I find is broken I would love for you to help me.

Is there any way to have a live group member count?

Alright for anyone else who looks at this thread. Yes it’s possible to get a live group member count. This is how I did it. local GROUP_ID = "" -- the group you want to see the live member count for HttpService = game:GetService'HttpService' Url = 'https://groups.rprxy.xyz/v1/groups/'..GROUP_ID -- use a proxy due to Roblox not allowing requests. Name = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url)).name -- get information while wait(5) do Members = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:…

There is a roblox API that holds detailed information about groups like the member count. So we will need to access it using HTTP service

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
groupInfoRequest.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, groupID)
	print("Received request for group ID:", groupID)
    local url = "https://groups.roblox.com/v1/groups/" .. groupID   
    local membercount     
    local success, response = pcall(function()
        return HttpService:GetAsync(url)
    end)
    if success then
        local data = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
        membercount = data.memberCount
    else
        warn("Failed to get group information.")
    end
end)
if memberCount then
    print("The group has " .. memberCount .. " members.")
else
    print("Failed to retrieve the member count.")
end

hey i tried using http but warn says this “HttpService is not allowed to access ROBLOX resources”

Hello! I am the OP of the second resource you linked! Thank you for making me aware that this was still posted, I have updated the comment to reflect it no longer works and update some old bad coding practices. The code itself works fine, but the proxy no longer exists. There’s a lot of other proxies @kvautme could use and could just drop in as a replacement to the one I used 4 years ago.

Still waiting for Roblox to just have an official API usable in-game.

@alexinite

local HTTP = = game:GetService("HttpService")
local groupId = "" -- the group you want to see the live member count for
local url = "https://groups.rprxy.xyz/v1/groups/" .. groupId -- use a proxy due to Roblox not allowing requests.
-- !!!!!!!! ^ New proxy here

local success, response = pcall(HTTP.GetAsync, HTTP, url)
if not success then
    error("Failed to fetch Group page!")
end

while true do
    local success, response = pcall(HTTP.GetAsync, HTTP, url)
    if not success then
        continue
    end

    local data = HTTP:JSONDecode(response)
    script.Parent.Text = data.name .. " Live Member Count:\n" .. data.memberCount

    task.wait(5)
end

You could probably use this exact same code and just replace the url part with this:

local url = "https://groups.roproxy.com/v1/groups/" .. groupId -- use a proxy due to Roblox not allowing requests.

Damn I forgot how you cannot access the Roblox website like that
