The RobloxAPI extension provides easy access to the Roblox API. Fetch images, data and player information easily with a parser function. The Roblox API is generally very poorly documented, and using the ExternalData extension or Lua modules can be a steep learning curve which may not be viable. This extension aims to make it easy for you to grab data from Roblox and put it on your wiki, using simple parser functions.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called RobloxAPI in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'RobloxAPI' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
