After watching Tom Scott’s very inspirational video, I decided that I should make more projects just for the sake of making them. I figured what better place to start than to make the exact same thing as the video, but in Roblox!

The place updates every 15 seconds. The hardest part of the project was dealing with the X-CSRF-Token but I eventually figured it out. I tried to make it so it sends as few requests as possible(ex: it doesn’t update the name if its already correct).

Give me your feedback and ideas on what to do next!

Pretty cool. Willing to share a high-level explanation of this? I could imagine one way of doing this involving JSoup HTML parsing, which is what I am doing in my Software Engineering class to get info from different websites.

It’s nothing too complicated really. For the most part, I just use the official endpoints.

https://auth.roblox.com/docs
https://develop.roblox.com/docs

I use a regular GET request to the webpage then I just do some parsing to get the game name and play count and then it just updates the game’s title if it’s not up to date.

It’s written in JavaScript(node) and I use axios for the HTTP requests.

Nah I just used an old place for it. It really only took a couple of days to make.
