How to know how many visits a game has

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I want to do something like new update at 1k visits or something like that but of course, no one wants to do it manually. So I want to know how to use http/api to get the number of visits a game has. (Not to be confused with how many times a player played the game but the actual visits of a game). Thank you so much for reading up to here please reply if you read here thank you so much!

You can check at the bottom game page on the Roblox website.

You will need a universe ID to access this info from the Roblox API. To convert a place ID into a universe ID, use this endpoint:

https://api.roblox.com/universes/get-universe-containing-place?placeid=yourplaceIDhere

Then, you can get the info for said game by using this endpoint:

https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=universeidhere

Keep in mind you need a proxy to access these since they are Roblox domains, and you can’t make requests through HTTPService in Roblox servers to them.

You can use the

games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=XXXX

API endpoint.

More info: https://games.roblox.com/docs#!/Games/get_v1_games

Remember to replace xxxx with the universe ID of your game. To find it;

  1. Click the three dots at the top-right of your game’s page.
  2. Click “Configure this Experience”.
  3. Copy the numbers after “id=” in the address bar.

You need to set up a web server as a middle-man between your game and roblox api.
So communication would be as follows:
Roblox Game → Your Web Server → Roblox Api

You would of course have to script a proper web application for your server to make it able to receive a http request, forward it to Roblox Api and return the response.

Yikes. I’d probably prefer to just leech off of someone else’s web server. My only query is where I can find one
