I need to get current number of players in my game (on all servers) in a LOCAL script

[KaktusakCz_27 (KaktusakCz)]

I need it for GUI.
I’ve tried to look for tutorials, but there are none.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function GetPlayersNumber()
	return #Players:GetPlayers()
end

print(GetPlayersNumber())

I don’t think you can do it using a localscript. But you can use a remotefunction and use the roblox api to get the number of active player.

Yes, can you show me example, please?

sure, create a remote function in replicatedStorage. after you will need to find a proxy because we cannot access on roblox ressource while we are on roblox. For me, i’ll use roproxy because it’s free. BUT remember that a proxy can send anything including nsfw messages so be aware of what you use. Then create a script on server side and put this:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local RemoteFunction = path.to.remote

local universeId = HttpService:JSONDecode(
	HttpService:GetAsync("https://apis.roproxy.com/universes/v1/places/" .. tostring(game.PlaceId) .. "/universe")
).universeId

RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function()
	local decodedBody = HttpService:JSONDecode(
		HttpService:GetAsync('https://games.roproxy.com/v1/games?universeIds=' .. tostring(universeId))
	)
	
	return decodedBody.data[1].playing
end

now on client side you can just do

local Remote = part.to.remote

print(Remote:InvokeServer())

Dont’t forget to enable HttpService (in command bar you can use game.HttpService.HttpEnabled = true) and there we go!

How do I get UniverseId from PlaceId? (ROBLOX API)

Hello, Recently, I have been struggling to get a game’s UniverseID from PlaceID via HttpService. At first, I have tried two methods: Using MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo() but the problem is that there is no UniverseID included in the information received Using and again the problem is that this API requires an Authenticated User to work therefore I get this error: HTTP 401 (Unauthorized) HttpService:GetAsync("https://games.rprxy.xyz/v1/games/multiget-place-details?pl…
