Overview

What is this?

RobloxApi is a rust library that wraps Roblox's web api endpoints into Rust compatible format and allows for cookie based authorization. The wrapper seamlessly integrates users, groups, games, and payment services into Rust-compatible formats for easy access and manipulation. This project originally started as a simple fork and grew to be something more with time.

Use Case

This library is being used in a program being hosted on a RaspberryPi which listens for requests from Roblox servers and then creates a developer product based on the contents of the request.

Using this library, I was able to create the custom Donation System for Toshiko - Tokyo Undying

Implementations

  • Complete Refactor of the original source code
  • Added Error Handling for API Requests
  • Changed how the Http client is used and accessed across functions
  • Added compatibility for multiple Http clients to access different cookies


Documentation

Installation

You can install the library by running cargo add robloxapi

Retrieving Users

Example of retrieving a given user, three different ways!

use robloxapi;
use tokio;
 
// The cookie is needed for several api endpoints; Specifically those which interact with acccount / game data.
const COOKIE: &str = ""
 
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut client = rbxapi::Client::new(); // Create new client Instance
    client.set_cookie(COOKIE).await; // Set the cookie for the client instance
 
    // Example on getting users
    let my_user = client.current_user().await?; // Get the current user
    let str_user = client.user("builderman").await?; // Get user by username
    let int_user = client.user(156).await?; // Get user by userid
}

Developer Products / Games

use robloxapi;
use tokio;
 
const COOKIE: &str = ""
 
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
   let place_id = 7415484311; // Place ID for game
   let mut client = robloxapi::Client()::new(); // Create a new client instance
   client.set_cookie(COOKIE).await; // We need to set the cookie if we want to have permissions for creating developer products
 
   // Create a new game given place id
   let mut game = client.game(place_id).await?;
 
    // Returns a ApiResult which can be unwrapped to a value or a APIError
    let dev_product = game.create_dev_product(
        "name-of-dev-product", // Name of the developer product
        17 // Price of the developer product
    ).await?;
}
