I still don’t understand what you mean by proxy.
Access Denied, I believe.
Looked it up:
“The HTTP 403 Forbidden client error status response code indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it . The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic”
A proxy server is a middleman that will take in requests and then fullfill them to the desired server. In this case, you want a server that will take in a web request with data meant to be sent to your discord webhook URL, then the proxy will fullfill the actual request.
I don’t know how to do that. I don’t mess around much with http requests.
I did it with a Discord to Roblox messaging system. I used Google Spreadsheets for it, go give it a look.
Since you are not knowledgeable enough to write something on your own, here is a link to a github repository by Froast.
He has this ProxyService which you can host on Heroku, which you could use to proxy your web requests to discord.

Thank you! And do you think that Kaitsy is right and discord might have blocked my from webhooks, despite not receiving any email or indication?
Discord did not block your webhooks. Discord blocked Roblox servers. So, your roblox servers can not access your webhooks.
No roblox game server can directly request or send data to the discord domain.
Oh. So it’s not just a me problem?
Did they do that again?
I thought they allowed us to do it. Oh well, if they did then just use a proxy like he said.

Yeh, thanks so much you two! Kinda sucks that Discord did this though.

They do. If you try to send a web request with the User-Agent set to Roblox’s User-Agent (Roblox/Linux), then you will see your request is immediately denied.

Proxys are getting blocked as of very recently too. I now have no way to communicate to discord from roblox webhooks.
Is there another alternative place I can post webhooks/data to? Idk about pastebin but like where else can we post stuff to and easily access?
Instead of using discord.com/api, you can use discordapp.com/api, apparently Discord forgot to block that legacy, but oh well, use it while you can.
Good find, but I really don’t think that usage of proxies should be encouraged here if the users of said proxies are going to continue to use Discord as a logging service, which it is not. This block is long overdue, and I honestly think it should be kept this way.
The same applies here. Just because they forgot to block Roblox on the legacy domain doesn’t mean that you should use it. If anything, doing the things I listed above will probably make them more likely to not unblock Roblox.

This ban is platform wide, and you can thank the people that make stuff like message loggers
This is the big report, and discord has gone back to add the legacy api to block Roblox

I don’t think that Discord cares if you use it for logging, they only care if you spam their API, which is what 99% of these things did

I agree with that, but I think that a large amount of developers using Discord as a logging service completely disregard rate limits if they knew what they were in the first place. Either way, misusing a platforms API, (e.g., trello as a database, discord for logging) is bad practice and those platforms have every right to block other platforms that they believe to be abusing, spamming, or otherwise misusing their API.
Edit: Maybe a guide for newer developers on what is a logging service and what is not, along with a list of other free, easy-to-use services for their development needs off-platform would be nice for #resources:community-resources or #resources:community-tutorials. Not sure which that would fall under.

Agreed 
, and since people were spamming the old api, I feel like this ban is just gonna last a while
And when I mean awhile, I mean like a few years

I no longer can use it though and even Kirito22 cant either. Is there another communication platform we can post to? I remember a devforum post saying an alternative called Glitch or something? I just cant find it.
