/openblox

An API wrapper for Roblox, written in Typescript. Fully typesafe, optional caching, use any http client.

Primary LanguageTypeScriptMIT LicenseMIT

A strictly typed Roblox API wrapper which supports both classic (BEDEV & BEDEV2) and OpenCloud endpoints.


Openblox allows your typescript (and javascript) codebase to communicate with the Roblox API extemely easily.

It wraps over 100+ Roblox API endpoints, each with its own strictly typed response data. Typings were written manually as opposed to programatically generating them to ensure the strictest possible type-safety.

  • Automatically handles csrf tokens.

  • Prettifies / formats responses from the Roblox API to be developer friendly as possible, and to maintain a consistant (see Prettification).

  • All results from Openblox methods return the underlying http response with it.

  • Easily iterate over paginated endpoints (see Pagination).

  • Each Openblox method utilises only one Roblox API endpoint to ensure clarity and efficiency in your codebase.

  • Scarcely utilise classes to allow for treeshaking.


Example Usage

import "dotenv/config";
import { setConfig } from "openblox/config";
import { UsersApi } from "openblox/cloud";
import { ClassicUsersApi } from "openblox/classic"; // Classic (BEDEV & BEDEV2) APIs will always be prefixed with `Classic`.

/*
Naming your Roblox Cookie environment variable `ROBLOX_COOKIE` will automatically
import it into your Openblox config, therefore voiding the need to set it in the config
manually. Similarly, naming your OpenCloud API Key environment variable `ROBLOX_CLOUD_KEY`
will also automatically import it into your Openblox config.
*/
setConfig({
  cookie: process.env.MY_ROBLOX_COOKIE,
  cloudKey: process.env.MY_ROBLOX_CLOUD_KEY
})

(async () => {

  const { data:userInfo_classic } = await ClassicUsersApi.userInfo({ userId: 45348281 })

  const { data:userInfo_cloud } = await UsersApi.userInfo({ userId: 45348281 })

})

Openblox Methods

Openblox methods all return an object containing the following

const {
  data: unknown, // The prettified / formatted data from the Roblox api endpoint (As an optimisation, prettification / formatting only happens once accessed / destructured).

  response: HttpResponse, // The http response from the Roblox api endpoint. The raw unprettified data can be accessed via `response.body`.

  cursors: { next: string, previous: string }, // Only exists on paginated endpoints. Contains the previous and next cursor.
} = OpenbloxApi.method(...)
