Is there an API for likes/favorites?

Hello, I was wondering if there’s an API for game likes and favorites.
Thanks in advance!

Found a similar topic:

Although possible, that method will break if Roblox ever updates their pages, even if they just change a few tags around

Alternatively, you can use the https://games.roblox.com api; the documents can be found at https://games.roblox.com/docs
Look at the V1 for this API, and you will find the following to get some data about a game:
https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=ID_HERE
https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/votes?universeIds=ID_HERE
https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/{universeId}/favorites/count
Replace the above ID_HERE with your Universe ID, seperated by commas if you are using multiple universes.

You can use the first link to view the amount of current players, and the visits of the game, and the second link to view upvotes and downvotes
The last one can be used to get the number of favorites (PS. it only accepts one universe id at a time)

Like people have said above, you will, however, need your own web server proxy to request the data from these endpoints, as HttpService cannot grab data from roblox.com endpoints

Yes, here’s the page:
https://games.roblox.com/docs#!/v1

And a example:
https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/votes?universeIds=640204840
https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/640204840/favorites/count

Simply replace 640204840 with your universe id.

You will have to use a proxy instead of directly going through HttpService, though.
