I’m running a data analysis project, and I’m trying to get some games data. The first thing I need is a list of games and all their stats, so I opted for using the Roblox API to collect this data.
However, I am currently stuck at the fact that the API to get a list of games, games.roblox.api/v1/games/list, requires a ridiculous amount of data, and provides no description as to what this data does and what it looks like.
Specifically, it requires sortToken, gameFilter, timeFilter, genreFilter, exclusiveStartId, sortOrder, gameSetTargetId, keyword, startRows, maxRows, contextCountryRegionId, contextUniverseId, pageId, isSeeAllPage, sortPosition, and sessionId
the hell is a game filter?
the hell is a time filter?
keyword? just keyword?!?!
why are there no examples of what this data should look like?
who thought this would be a good idea?
when will the pain end?
So yeah… I need help, none of this makes sense, it’s so confusing I’m seriously considering downloading selenium and going the web scraping route. Does anyone know how to work with this? Help would be greatly appreciated.
