This function returns a table

local followers = getFollowersForUserId(2465383470);
for i, v in pairs(followers) do
	warn(i, v.name);
end
#43

does it have to be run on the server by the way?

#44

Yes, it must be run on the server, as the client can’t run any HTTP requests (from HttpService)

SCRIPT

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService");
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, UserId)
	local followers = {};
	local url = ("https://friends.roproxy.com/v1/users/%s/followers?limit=100"):format(tostring(UserId))
	local success, output = pcall(function() return HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(url)) end);
	if not (success) then
		return followers;
	end
	for _, v in pairs(output.data) do
		table.insert(followers, {
			name = v.name;
			displayName = v.displayName;
			userId = v.id;
		});
	end
	return followers;
end)

LOCAL SCRIPT

local MyFollowers = remote:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId)
print(MyFollowers) --nil

i have a remote event that returns the value of the table however its always nil.
i tried doing

repeat wait(0.1) until MyFollowers ~= nil

however it never stopped the loop
something to note is i editted the script a lot so that i could return the value. for example its not a function anymore and i delete the part inside the script that called itself

RemoteEvent is not a valid choice, you must use RemoteFunction

RemoteEvent is a one-way communication, which means RemoteEvent can't return any* data from the server to the client
RemoteFunction is a two-way communication, which means RemoteFunction can return any* data from the server to the client

No? It’s a web proxy, not a website.

Again, if you’ve read what I’ve said before you’d know that you can use literally any proxy. If you don’t like one, use another.
