Hey Developers,
Does anybody know how to make a group member count connected to Webhooks send to discord? Here’s what I’m trying to say;
Here’s an API link you can use:
https://groups.roblox.com/docs#!/Groups/get_v1_groups_groupId
This can’t be done on a roblox place, as you can’t send requests to a roblox domain in studio or games. You’d probably have to make a bot and send requests to the endpoint. Here’s an example of the endpoint in use: https://groups.roblox.com/v1/groups/3514227
You’d have to decode it from JSON and the amount of members in the group is the field memberCount

I would also be cautious about how frequently you invoke web hooks as Discord has previously blocked requests from Roblox servers because of rate limit abuse.

As @EncodedLua said, Discord webhooks are not a logging service. This actually can result in your Discord account being moderated if used as a logging service, a lot of users abused the day-light out of webhooks and treated them as logging service which led to the banning of Roblox’s user agent, which can happen again if several users continue to use discord’s webhooks as a logging service on Roblox. I’d highly dis-advise using Discord webhooks to log that information, if you really wanted to, you could make your own API with free services and post a request to that, and make a Discord bot that would constantly update the members on the group. ( you might need web hosting for this, unless you use a free service )

How about trello? Would that be allowable? I use trello for applications and pretty sure the API isn’t blocked.

Maybe you could just constantly update a message or post on Trello to the current members and how much is left until your goal, I’d see that as much easier instead of having a huge mess cluster with creating several new texts/posts.

Is this still possible? Or has ROBLOX blocked this?

Far as I know, still blocked. Won’t hurt to try though.

That’s annoying eek. 
Noblox doesnt have a function to do this, but it is possible to do with web scraping.

It’s not blocked anymore.

All they have done is change the rate limits lower, I think its smth like 30 every minute.
So if she made 2 requests every five minutes, she’d be fine.
Why would you need to use a proxy?
Im aware of what noblox does, I used to use it before making my own. The thing he wants to do, Noblox doesnt have that function, You would have to use request or axios, to do what he wants.
Can’t you use HTTPService:RequestAsync for request?
he wants to do it via discord, not ingame. (So you would need to have an offsite host to run it)
Oh, now I know what you mean…
I want to try it too, could you put it in steps?

I found another way you can use for group member count with Campfire. They offer free services for group member count and shout proxy webhooks for discord! Just go on products at the menu on the top. They offer really good services. https://campfirehq.net/
