Hello, im making a weather script, which detects your weather in real life. so bassicly im trying to do a
http request on studio it works, but in a game it does not and it shows this error
-- scipt for server
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
game.ReplicatedStorage.Data.OnServerInvoke = function(plr, url)
local response = HttpService:GetAsync(url)
local data = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
return data
end
-- script for client
local function getWeather()
local url = "https://weather.visualcrossing.com/VisualCrossingWebServices/rest/services/timeline/"..Location.."/today?unitGroup="..DataUnits.."&include=days&key="..ApiKey.."&contentType=json"
print(url)
local data = game.ReplicatedStorage.Data:InvokeServer(url)
return data
end
I’m not very good at that http thing so i get confused easily
hi, there’s a specific problem in your script that stands out and could be the culprit
in your client script, the way you’re constructing the url string seems incorrect due to concatenation
the quotation marks and concatenation operators (.. ) are inside the string, which means they are being treated as literal characters instead of operators to concatenate the variables Location , DataUnits , and ApiKey to your URL string, so this would result in an invalid URL being passed to the server script, causing the HTTP 500 error when the server tries to make the request with this invalid URL
to fix the URL construction, make the following changes like this:
local Location = "your_location"
local DataUnits = "metric"
local ApiKey = "your_api_key"
local url = "https://weather.visualcrossing.com/VisualCrossingWebServices/rest/services/timeline/" .. Location .. "/today?unitGroup=" .. DataUnits .. "&include=days&key=" .. ApiKey .. "&contentType=json"
