{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### :tada: You did it!

Now that BloxTech's API is installed, you can use it in your other Scripts.

To do this, add the following two lines at the top of your Script:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```lua
local BloxTech = require(game.ServerStorage.BloxTechAPI)
local BloxTechClient = BloxTech.new()
```

{% endcode %}

Now you can interact with `BloxTechClient` directly to manage your group members:

### **Update member rank**

<pre class="language-lua" data-overflow="wrap" data-full-width="false"><code class="lang-lua"><strong>BloxTechClient:setRank(8460964972, 1)
</strong>    :andThen(function(response)
        -- Runs when the rank has been updated successfully
        print("Success", response)
    end)
    :catch(function(response)
        -- Runs when the rank couldn't be updated
        -- eg. because they already have this rank
        warn("Error", response)
    end)
</code></pre>

### Accept Join Request

<pre class="language-lua"><code class="lang-lua"><strong>BloxTechClient:acceptJoinRequest(8460964972)
</strong>    :andThen(function(response)
        -- Runs when the join request has been accepted successfully
        print("Success", response)
    end)
    :catch(function(response)
        -- Runs when the request couldn't be accepted
        -- eg. because they haven't sent any request yet
        warn("Error", response)
    end)
</code></pre>

### Reject Join Request

<pre class="language-lua"><code class="lang-lua"><strong>BloxTechClient:rejectJoinRequest(8460964972)
</strong>    :andThen(function(response)
        -- Runs when the join request has been rejected successfully
        print("Success", response)
    end)
    :catch(function(response)
        -- Runs when the request couldn't be rejected
        -- eg. because they haven't sent any request yet
        warn("Error", response)
    end)
</code></pre>

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
