API help

[ivory viper]

I have frontend site that uses roblox api
how do i make it show me the rate limits?
https://create.roblox.com/docs/cloud/reference/rate-limits

[bright hawk]

Did you check the response from the query? It says every response includes the headers

[ivory viper]

It doesnt

I have tried different api endpoints and none includes the header.

[bright hawk]

Wanna take a pic of the headers you get in response? Or paste them?

[ivory viper]

I get none

Could you show me an example?

[bright hawk]

How are you sending the request

[ivory viper]

For testing i paste an URL, then i use javascript and URL too

I can show you when i am not computer

[bright hawk]

Id really want to see the network tab in the Developer Tools of the browser.

[ivory viper]

For example this:
https://avatar.roblox.com/v1/users/(userId)/outfits

There is no header there

[ivory viper]

Yes sure as soon as i can i will send you that, thanks for trying to help

[bright hawk]

Aren't going to be any headers in the JSON response, that's just the body of the response

[ivory viper]

its nowhere

[bright hawk]

Refresh the page while the dev tools network tab is open

[ivory viper]

i found it its there, however i have multiple api endpoints and some get timed out, how do i make the code automatically check for each api endpoint?

[bright hawk]

Like check each Roblox endpoint to see every rate limit?

[ivory viper]

Each roblox endpoint i am using, yes

Because there are different categories that use different endpoints, some get http 429 after some time

[ivory viper]

I dont even know why this fetches only 200

[bright hawk]

Is there a reason you need to know every endpoint? what language are you using?

Surely you'd just detect what the rate limit is every request, and if you hit a 429 you'd wait some amount of time and try again

[ivory viper]

Not every endpoint

I use like 8 i think

And its connected to cors proxy since everyone said to me to use proxy when using roblox API

[ivory viper]

Html css java script

All in one html file small site

[bright hawk]

So why do you need to know all 8?

Just use the Promise from the fetch and wait extra if it returns a 429

You can grab the header from the response and store it so you know I guess

[ivory viper]

Because i thought different api endpoints have different limits or is it all the same?

[bright hawk]

They could be different but that's not what I'm saying

What is the goal of keeping track of the request limits? What do you plan to do with it?

[ivory viper]

Just set the timing so it doesnt give me 429 each time, but i get your idea, if 429 then wait and try again

But thats bit harder to code than the response headers

[bright hawk]

Well what do you do if the header is 0? Reject it? Or wait an amount of time?

[ivory viper]

Wait

[bright hawk]

Okay, so make a request. Take the header and store it. If the header says you have no more requests, wait an amount of time, then make the request again.

[ivory viper]

Yes, but how do i take the header info

[bright hawk]

If you're using the fetch API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response/headers

[ivory viper]

Ohhh, ty this is very interesting, but also other problem that is there is user search friends list and user outfits only return few avatars not all, i get that friends api has hard limit of 200, but it still fetches max 182 and each time 2 fail

And now the user search only fetches 100

Wait i can give code

[bright hawk]

Look at the Roblox endpoint docs if they exist

[ivory viper]

Yes i found 200 is hard limit for friends, but for the other ones there is nothing that i was able to find anywhere

[bright hawk]

🤷‍♂️

[ivory viper]

So there has to be something in my code that does some damage, i have to admit i used AI for help, because its much more faster.

[ivory viper]

I was able to fetch 200 max users but even that for some reason changed to 100 now lol

Nothing in docs or anywhere

[bright hawk]

Check the network requests. Look at the headers and responses. I can't really help you with the specifics

tbh this is a scripting help channel, not so much a javascript help channel

[ivory viper]

Well using javascript is scripting no? Lua and Js are very similar

[bright hawk]

Spirit of the law versus word of law

[ivory viper]

Could you please just have fast look at the script? Its not long, very short

[bright hawk]

Lol not when I'm on my phone with no access to my home laptop

Besides, what's what you should be doing. Debugging and investigating. Checking documentation. Trying things out.

[ivory viper]

When will you get to your laptop if you want to say?

[cobalt orchid]

** You are now Level 6! **

[bright hawk]

it'd be tomorrow, but I'm not going to debug everything for you

that's a lot of time to try things and look at the network requests and try things out and google

[ivory viper]

Yeah i get it, thanks for the help i will try to figure it out
