Hello, i’ve been working on a portfolio website that includes some statistics of my games on Roblox.
The problem i came across is the following;
Due being rate limited sometimes the Data doesn’t get pulled correctly. Is there any way to bypass this rate limit?
const apiKeyParam = apiKey ? `&apiKey=${apiKey}` : '';
const url = `https://apis.roproxy.com/universes/v1/places/${gameId}/universe${apiKeyParam}`;
const maxRetries = 3;
let retries = 0;
while (retries < maxRetries) {
try {
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) {
if (response.status === 429) {
// Rate limit exceeded, apply exponential backoff
const delay = Math.pow(2, retries) * 1000;
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
retries++;
continue;
} else {
throw new Error(`Failed to fetch data. Status code: ${response.status}`);
}
}
const jsonData = await response.json();
const universeId = jsonData.universeId;
return universeId;
} catch (error) {
retries++;
}
}
throw new Error("Max retries reached. Unable to fetch data.");
}
async function ImportData(title, active, favourites, visits, universeId) {
try {
const response = await fetch(`https://games.roproxy.com/v1/games?universeIds=${universeId}`);
const data = await response.json();
if (data.data && data.data[0]) {
title.innerHTML = data.data[0].name;
active.innerHTML = NumberConverter(data.data[0].playing, "norm");
favourites.innerHTML = NumberConverter(data.data[0].favoritedCount, "norm");
visits.innerHTML = NumberConverter(data.data[0].visits, "norm");
totalVis += data.data[0].visits;
totalFav += data.data[0].favoritedCount;
totalPlr += data.data[0].playing;
localStorage.setItem("totalVisits", totalVis);
localStorage.setItem("totalFavourites", totalFav);
localStorage.setItem("totalPlayers", totalPlr);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('Fetch error in ImportData:', error);
}
}
My website: (refresh a couple times and see that the data doesn’t show up anymore)
