Refer to this topic. rprxy has shut down and it’s no longer available for use.

Uh, I think RoProxy is an alternative. Not sure why would anyone want to use proxies anyway, just host your own.

can i use replit? or doesnt it work??

#6

Replit is not a proxy. If you found rprxy on Replit, same result, it’s shut down.

well i dont know what I need to do I’m confused

rprxy is a proxy. A proxy is a server or computer that acts as an intermediary between your computer and the internet. When you connect to the internet, you do so through a proxy, which then connects you to other websites or services.

Because HttpService cannot send a GET request directly to the Roblox API, a proxy is needed. We call a GET request on the proxy, which will send a request to the Roblox API. The response from Roblox will then be sent to said proxy, and the proxy will send the data back to the game. It’s a simple explanation of how Proxies work.

Rprxy, a popular proxy, has been shut down one year ago and has been since replaced with RoProxy. There are many alternatives, and I personally don’t use proxies, so you’ll have to get someone else to tell ya.

oof ok but i dont think anyone reading this

#10 
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Url = "https://games.roblox.com/v1/games"

local PlaceId = "PlaceId as a string"
local UniverseId = tostring(HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."/multiget-place-details?placeIds="..PlaceId)).universeId)
local PlayingCount = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."?universeIds="..UniverseId)).playing

print(PlayingCount)

I haven’t tested but it should works :slight_smile:

local PlaceId = "11287336762"
local UniverseId = tostring(HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."/multiget-place-details?placeIds="..PlaceId)).universeId)
local PlayingCount = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."?universeIds="..UniverseId)).playing

print(PlayingCount)
script.Parent.ImageLabel.game1.PlayerCount.Text = PlayingCount

You can only http request on Server Script.
Try these :
• Add a new RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage and rename it to “GetPlayingCount” (for example).
• Add a new Script to ServerScriptService and change code to

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Url = "https://games.roblox.com/v1/games"
local GetPlayingCountEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.GetPlayingCount

GetPlayingCountEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, PlaceId)
    local UniverseId = tostring(HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."/multiget-place-details?placeIds="..PlaceId)).universeId)
    local PlayingCount = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."?universeIds="..UniverseId)).playing
    GetPlayingCountEvent:FireClient(Player, PlayingCount)
end)

• In a LocalScript, Change the code to

local GetPlayingCountEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.GetPlayingCount
local PlaceId = "11287336762"

GetPlayingCountEvent:FireServer(PlaceId)
GetPlayingCountEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(PlayingCount)
    script.Parent.ImageLabel.game1.PlayerCount.Text = tostring(PlayingCount)
end)

HttpService is not allowed to access ROBLOX resources

i used serverscript and followed the step here is it telling me that error

local UniverseId = tostring(HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(Url.."/multiget-place-details?placeIds="..PlaceId)).universeId)

I forgot that HttpService doesn’t allow you to use roblox.com.
