Live player counter from different place

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi! I want to achieve this cool live player counter on a textlabel in a UI. But i don’t know how i would get the amount of players playing in a different Place/Experience. Here’s how the script kinda looks like now:

local Place_ID = 11356217115
        
local Live_Players = ?
        
local Player_Counter = Gamemodes_Frame.Normal.Players_Online
Player_Counter.Text = Live_Players .. " PLAYING"

I will add an additional loop to make it update each 30 seconds later, but does anyone know how i would kinda get this to work? And maybe without having to use API’s?

I’m not that good at scripting but here’s a suggestion. Try looking into GetPlayers. I know this obviously breaks your rules but it’s all I can say.

That’s the problem… I’m not looking to get the players in the current game, but from another place.

So can it still use the API or no?

#5

Yes, sure. I have my own proxy

you can use this Games Api api with a proxy to get the player count

example:

https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=1686885941

code snippet:

local proxyReturn = json -- here is where you use your proxy to get the api
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")

local count = http:JSONDecode(proxyReturn)["data"][1]["playing"]

print(count)

You’re going to have to use an api like @robeatsdeath said.

I came across this api that allows you to get a game’s info with the universe id.

https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=[UNIVERSE_ID_HERE]

Then look at the playing count.

Any other API but with a PlaceId instead of universeId? :slight_smile:

Sadly not, roblox only supports universe ids for most apis now
