How to get the visit count of a place by ID?

So I have a game where it picks a random number from 1 to 1,000,000,000 and sends the player to that place's ID if it exists. The game works fine, but I was wondering if there was a way to tell if the place has at least 100 visits. This is so that we don't keep on getting sent to starter places.

here is a little function for finding a few stuff from the game page.

function players_online(place_id)
	local web = game.HttpService:GetAsync("https://www.rprxy.xyz/games/"..place_id)
	local player_text = string.find(web,"Created") -- ("Visits", "Favorites", "Playing", "Created", "Updated") find the online players section
	local new = string.sub(web,player_text)
	
	local number_start = string.find(new,">") -- find where the number starts
	new = string.sub(new,number_start)
	
	local number_end = string.find(new,"<") -- find where the number ends
	new = string.sub(new,2,number_end-1)
	
	local players_online = string.gsub(new,",","") -- in case it's over 1000 players
	return players_online
end

print(players_online(2180488865))
