Cant parse JSON

#1

Hey! I’ve been trying to get the servers of a game and it just doesnt work, It says “Can’t parse JSON”
Code:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

function getServerList(placeId)
	local cursor
	local servers = {}
	repeat
		local response = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync("https://games.rprxy.xyz/v1/games/" .. placeId .. "/servers/Public?sortOrder=Asc&limit=100" .. (cursor and "&cursor=" .. cursor or "")))
		for _, v in pairs(response.data) do
			table.insert(servers, v)
		end
		cursor = response.nextPageCursor
	until not cursor
	return servers
end


local srv = getServerList(game.PlaceId)
print(srv)

The first step is to print out what the response is so that you can verify it’s valid JSON.

If you query that endpoint yourself, what do you get as a response?

Before trying to decode the json, you should verify that what what the proxy is returning is json. In cases where the request fails (either GetAsync(), but that would throw an error, or the proxy itself) something other than json can be returned

For example, this is a custom proxy of mine, and it has a Result.Success field, for if the proxy was successful, and a Result.Body field, which is either an error message, or the json

local function GetExperiencesInfo(Body) : RequestTypes?

	local Success, Result = pTimeout(60,function()
		return HttpService:RequestAsync({
			Url = Url.."/api",
			Method = "POST",
			Headers = {
				["Authorization"] = SecurityKey,
				["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
			},
			Body = Body,
		})
	end)

	if Success and Result.Success then
		return HttpService:JSONDecode(Result.Body)
	else 
		if not Success then 
			if Result == "HttpError: ConnectFail" or Result == "HttpError: Timedout" then return false end -- Ignore
			warn("[Proxy][Error]: "..Result)
			return nil
		else 
			warn("[Proxy][Error]: "..Result.Body)
			return nil
		end
	end
end

pTimeout is like a pcall but with a timeout parameter
Also note that this is a POST request, and not a GET request like GetAsync. But just print what you are getting from GetAsync directly, and then you’ll see what kind of data you are dealing with
