How would I view all the keys in a DataStore?
I've been getting some visits at my place, and I was curious about who exactly was visiting. So, I made a datastore for storing visitors' basic info in keys named by their user ID's. Then I realized that I won't know how to actually look at all the keys I have in that store. Is there any way that I can list all the keys in the store?
01 | datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Visitors") |
02 | http = game:GetService("HttpService") |
03 |
04 | function onPlayerAdded(player) |
05 | local data = {} |
06 |
07 | data.Name = player.Name |
08 | data.MembershipType = player.MembershipType |
09 | data.AccountAge = player.AccountAge |
10 |
11 | datastore:SetAsync(player.userId, http:JSONEncode(data)) |
12 | end |
13 |
14 |
15 |
16 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded) |

@funyun, There are only 2 keys in a global datastore, that would be "key" & "value". The key would be the scope or the username then the "value" would be a boolean or number and etc.. But, it takes a special datastore (Most people dont know about) to access the "key" & "value". MessorAdmin 598 — 9y

Sadly, there is not. What you can do is store an index of the rest of the keys from a known key:
01 | datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Visitors") |
02 | http = game:GetService("HttpService") |
03 |
04 | function onPlayerAdded(player) |
05 | local data = {} |
06 |
07 | data.Name = player.Name |
08 | data.MembershipType = player.MembershipType |
09 | data.AccountAge = player.AccountAge |
10 |
11 | datastore:SetAsync(player.userId, http:JSONEncode(data)) |
12 | datastore:UpdateAsync("KEY_INDEX", function(oldData) |
13 | local data = oldData or {} |
14 | data[player.userId] = true --so as to avoid duplicate entries |
15 | return data |
16 | end)) |
17 | end |
18 |
19 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded) |
And to get all the keys, just do:
1 | for id in ipairs(datastore:GetAsync("KEY_INDEX")) do |
2 | print(id) |
3 | end |

Special index,value datastore
EXAMPLE : NOT ANSWER
01 | local Datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetOrderedDataStore("Visitors") |
02 | local Sync = Datastore:GetSortedAsync(false,10) -- False = scope (leave it false & 10 is the number of how many datas you will load : MAX IS 100) |
03 | local Page = Sync:GetCurrentPage() -- Gets the table |
04 |
05 | Datastore:SetAsync("Bob", 1) |
06 | Datastore:SetAsync("Bill", 2) |
07 | Datastore:SetAsync("Sam", 3) |
08 | Datastore:SetAsync("n00b", 1337) |
09 |
10 | for i,v in next,Page do |
11 | local data = tostring(v.key) -- username or whatev |
12 | local number = tostring(v.value) -- Value or what you saved under the "data" or "key" |
13 | local numberindex = tonumber(i) |
14 |
15 | print(data, number, numberindex) |
16 | end |
If this does error, let me know asap I will fix it.
