openblox

A strictly typed Roblox API wrapper which supports both classic 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(...)
