Building a Blox Fruits Stock API 🍎

Why I created a Blox Fruits Stock API

As an avid Blox Fruits player, I often found myself wanting real-time information about which fruits were available in the game. The in-game stock changes regularly, and keeping track of available fruits, their prices, and other attributes manually was becoming tedious. I needed a way to:

• Access current stock information programmatically
• Customize pricing and metadata for different fruits
• Easily integrate this data into other applications

This need led me to develop a comprehensive Blox Fruits Stock API—a tool that provides real-time access to game stock information with additional custom data. After several iterations, I released a stable version that has significantly improved my ability to track and share fruit availability.

Key Features of the Blox Fruits Stock API

The API offers several essential functionalities:

• Real-time stock information for both Normal and Mirage servers
• Customized pricing and metadata for each fruit
• Secure API key authentication system
• Admin routes for managing API access
• Detailed fruit information including rarity, type, and Robux value
• Flexible endpoints for querying specific server data

API Architecture

The API follows a clean, RESTful design pattern that makes it easy to integrate with various clients:

• GitHub Integration: Stock data is pulled from a GitHub repository, ensuring it can be easily updated
• Custom Data Overlay: Adds additional information like rarity and Robux pricing to each fruit
• API Key System: Secure authentication for all endpoints
• Environment Configuration: Supports both development and production environments

API Endpoints

The Stock API provides intuitive endpoints for accessing data:

GET /api/health

GET /api/stock?apiKey=[yourApiKey]

GET /api/stock/normal?apiKey=[yourApiKey]

GET /api/stock/mirage?apiKey=[yourApiKey]

Data Structure

The API returns a comprehensive data structure for each fruit:

{
  "name": "Spin-Spin",
  "price": "7500",
  "rawLine": "<:SpinFruit:1185094501442797609> Spin-Spin<a:ArrowR:1186305605107974186><:Beli:1186304334493913181>7.5K",
  "customData": {
    "robux": 75,
    "rarity": "common",
    "type": "natural",
    "awakening": false
  }
}

This structure includes:

• The fruit’s name
• The price in Beli (in-game currency)
• The raw display line (useful for Discord integration)
• Custom data including Robux value, rarity, type, and awakening status

Security Implementation

The API implements a multi-tiered security system:

Technical Implementation

The Blox Fruits Stock API is built using modern web technologies:

• Backend: Node.js with Express.js framework
• Data Storage: GitHub repository for stock data, JSON files for development
• Authentication: Custom API key system
• Deployment: Ready for Vercel deployment with serverless functions

Custom Fruit Data System

One of the most powerful features is the ability to customize fruit data:

{
  "Spin-Spin": {
    "price": 7500,
    "robux": 75,
    "rarity": "common",
    "type": "natural",
    "awakening": false
  }
}

Development Challenges

Creating this API presented several interesting challenges:

Future Plans

While the current version of the Blox Fruits Stock API is functional, several enhancements are planned:

• Webhook Notifications: Alerts when specific fruits become available
• Historical Data: Tracking fruit availability over time
• Prediction Algorithm: Forecasting when fruits might appear based on historical patterns
• User Preferences: Allowing users to set preferred fruits for notifications
• Mobile App Integration: Direct connection to a companion mobile app
• Rate Limiting: Advanced rate limiting for API protection

Using the API

The API is designed to be easy to integrate with various applications:

async function getBloxFruitsStock(apiKey) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`https://your-api-url.com/api/stock?apiKey=${apiKey}`);
    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching stock data:', error);
    return null;
  }
}

import requests

def get_blox_fruits_stock(api_key):
    try:
        response = requests.get(f"https://your-api-url.com/api/stock?apiKey={api_key}")
        return response.json()
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error fetching stock data: {e}")
        return None

Conclusion

Building the Blox Fruits Stock API has streamlined my gaming experience and provided a valuable tool for the Blox Fruits community. By creating a central source for real-time fruit availability with enhanced metadata, it’s now easier than ever to track and share information about in-game items.

Whether you’re a casual player looking to find your favorite fruit or a developer building tools for the community, having a dedicated API for stock information can save significant time and enhance the overall gaming experience.
