Introduction

The Roblox Group Stats Fetcher is a web application that dynamically retrieves and displays statistics about a specified Roblox group. It fetches data from the Roblox API to show the total number of visits and the count of active games associated with the group. This document outlines the functionality, structure, and usage of the application.

Features

The application offers the following key features:

Technology Stack

The application is built using the following technologies:

How It Works

1. API Endpoint

The application communicates with the following API endpoint to fetch game data:

https://games.roproxy.com/v2/groups/{GroupID}/games?accessFilter=2&limit=100&sortOrder=Asc

Replace {GroupID} with the actual group ID to retrieve data specific to that group.

2. JavaScript Functionality

The core functionality is implemented in the JavaScript section of the HTML file. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:

a. Variables

let totalVisits;
let activeGames;
const GroupID = 33421657; // Your Group ID

totalVisits: Stores the total number of visits retrieved from the API.

activeGames: Stores the count of active games.

GroupID: The Roblox group ID for which the data is fetched.

b. Fetch Data Function

function getData() {
  const api200 = `https://games.roproxy.com/v2/groups/${GroupID}/games?accessFilter=2&limit=100&sortOrder=Asc`;
  return fetch(api200)
    .then((response) => response.json());
}

Purpose: Constructs the API URL and fetches data from the Roblox API.

Returns: A Promise that resolves to the JSON response from the API.

c. Processing the Response

const request = getData();
request.then(data => {
  totalVisits = data.data.reduce((sum, game) => sum + game.placeVisits, 0);
  activeGames = data.data.length; // Count the number of active games
  document.getElementById('VisitsCounter').textContent = `${totalVisits} Visits`;
  document.getElementById('ActiveGamesCounter').textContent = `${activeGames} Active Games`;
}).catch(error => {
  console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  document.getElementById('VisitsCounter').textContent = 'Error fetching visits';
  document.getElementById('ActiveGamesCounter').textContent = 'Error fetching active games';
});

Total Visits Calculation: Uses reduce to sum up the placeVisits of all games.

Active Games Count: Simply counts the number of games in the data.data array.

Error Handling: Logs errors to the console and updates the UI with error messages if the fetch fails.

Installation and Usage

Conclusion

Roblox Group Stats Fetcher provides a straightforward way to monitor group statistics through a web interface. This document serves as a guide for developers to understand the structure and functionality of the application. Feel free to modify and enhance the code to suit your needs!
