Hi everyone! I am creating a discord bot however, how I could access a specific games player count. I couldn’t really find any API that has the ability to do this. Thank you

So the last link could help but I dont exactly know how that source code could get access to the roblox API
You should be able to fetch the player count from https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=ID and use the Body.data.playing (returns int)
Body Example:
{"data":[{
"id":2055784388,
"rootPlaceId":5794718381,
"name":"no",
"description":"wow description",
"creator": {
"id":6033034,
"name":"🤔",
"type":"Group",
"isRNVAccount":false},
"price":null,
"allowedGearGenres":["All"],
"allowedGearCategories":[],"isGenreEnforced":true,
"copyingAllowed":false,
"playing":79,
"visits":22802229,
"maxPlayers":8,
"created":"2020-10-06T09:23:40.843Z",
"updated":"2021-10-08T16:19:56.383Z",
"studioAccessToApisAllowed":false,
"createVipServersAllowed":true,
"universeAvatarType":"MorphToR6",
"genre":"All",
"isAllGenre":true,
"isFavoritedByUser":false,
"favoritedCount":66481}

I would use noblox.js, it’s very simple to use. To install it, run npm i noblox.js in your bot folder. Then use getPlaceInfo() like this:
const noblox = require('noblox.js');
const placeId = 1000000;
noblox.getPlaceInfo(placeId).then(info => {
const placeInfo = info;
console.log(info.VisitedCount);
}
/*will return this:
{
"AssetId":1000000,
"Name":"~\u0027s Place",
"Description":"nothing",
"Created":"1/1/1970",
"Updated":"1/1/1970",
