403 Forbidden Error

I keep getting the “forbidden” error in game for no reason. On studio, however, it seems to work just fine.

I am using the webhook proxy “webhook.lewistehminerz.dev” (which has worked well for me in the past), but it does not seem to be working. Is there an issue with this proxy, or is the Roblox Webhook system simply not working?

There are two reasons why this occurs:

  • The proxy you are using is shut down.
  • You haven’t enabled HTTP requests in the game settings. (Game Settings > Security > Enable HTTP requests)

However there may be more I don’t know about. You can look it up on the Roblox Documentations.

Hope this helps!

Check if your Discord webhook is still valid, I’d suggest a web tool called Discohook: https://discohook.org/

Discord webhooks usually do not return an error 403. (Invalid webhooks is error 404, and invalid webhook tokens is 401.) So, it’s likely based from your proxy’s website that you’ve been banned for spamming the API. Here’s some text at the bottom of the home page:

Moving forward, here’s some advice:

  • I would not use Discord for activity tracking, if you have more than no players often playing your game - you’ll be hitting the API limits a lot.
  • If you do get another chance to use the proxy - respect the rate limits.

Update: this is not the only proxy it seems to be failing with. I will try switching webhooks and seeing how this goes.

The activity tracker isnt running constantly though, only once a member of my group leaves the game (which is within the 5 requests per two seconds ratelimit). It also refuses to work with my other webhooks, such as my suggestion booth and complaints booth webhooks.

I am facing the same issue with the Lewis webhook. Although, I believe this may be a Roblox issue as other users are having this issue as well.

It sends webhooks like 3% of the time, and it is very inconsistent. I also believe this is a Roblox issue because I didn’t change any of my scripts, and it just stopped working all of a sudden. The webhook proxy creator also stated that this may be a issue with Roblox as well.

There have been several reports of this happening as well.

Yeah, hopefully roblox resolves this issue soon.
