How can I check if roblox DataStoreService is down with a script? I am trying to make a script that when the DataStoreService is down then take the user out of the game (kick).

What do you mean by “roblox DatastoreService is down”?

Well, when services are unavailable due to downtime?

you can wrap the loading of data inside a pcall. If in any case it fails, you can kick them like so:

local success, response = pcall(function()
  --Data loading stuff here
end)

if not success then
  warn("Failed to load data.")
  plr:Kick("Your data failed to load")
end

You could wrap : GetDataStore in pcalls to see if it failed or not

I believe you can go check out some available APIs related to that and maybe use HTTPService?

That’s correct, after investigating, a found a website that it’s connected to the roblox status page: https://4277980205320394.hostedstatus.com/1.0/status/59db90dbcdeb2f04dadcf16d

I can do an HTTP request on that URL and get the JSON file.
