How do I get the most popular games with the API

Hello Developers!

For Fun, I want to make a script (IN PYTHON) to find the most popular game on the front page depending on there players playing, visits, ex.

So, how do I get the games on the front page?

Does Anyone know, or is there no way to do it?

This might help?

I think this is what I need, but I have no idea how to use this.

It says I need a sortToken, gameFilter, timeFilter, genreFilter, exclusiveStartId, sortOrder, gameSetTargetId, keyword, startRows, maxRows, contextCountryRegionId, contextUniverseId, pageId, isSeeAllPage, sortPosition, and sessionId.

I don’t know what settings will give me the top games, or the games on the front page.

You can use https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/sorts?model.gameSortsContext=GamesDefaultSorts to get the SortToken and hence get the list a sorted way in front page. The sorted lists are for example Most Engaging, Up-and-coming, Personal Recommendations and basically everything in the front page. Unfortunately, the list given isn’t up to date.

I know this is an old topic but could you provide the code or URL your code provided?
I’m a little stuck on this and I want to use it for a project I’m creating.

They set up a 3rd party server which acts as a proxy between roblox http service and the roblox API endpoint linked. This is the only way to access the roblox api within a roblox game, as you can’t do it with http service. There are free roblox proxys around, an example of this is roproxy.

(old thread I know, I didn’t realise until after typing the reply.)
