HttpService not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I was messing up with the Roblox HttpService for a while but I can’t get the script to work, it’s supposed to print the username but it instead prints that there was no information/data.
My script is:

local httpService = game:GetService('HttpService')
local url = 'http://users.roblox.com/v1/users/1/'

local function getROBLOXdisplayName()
	local get
	local information
	local username
	pcall(function ()
		get = httpService:GetAsync(url)
		information = httpService:JSONDecode(get)
	end)
	if not information then 
		print("Not Information") return false end
	if information.displayName == "ROBLOX" then
		print("Found DisplayName")
		if information.name == "ROBLOX" then
			print("Found name in JSON")
			username = "ROBLOX"
			print('Username from ROBLOX is: '..username)
return true end end return false end

getROBLOXdisplayName()

You can’t use the HttpRbxApiService service, only Staff can. If you want to get the identity of users use this service: UserService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
EDIT: Coded example found here: UserService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub


    local success, result = pcall(function()
    	return Players:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({ 8000 })
    end)
     
    if success then
    	for _, userInfo in ipairs(result) do
    		print("Id:", userInfo.Id)
    		print("Username:", userInfo.Username)
    		print("DisplayName:", userInfo.DisplayName)
    	end
    else
    	-- an error occurred
    end
     
    --> Id: 8000
    --> Username: player1
    --> DisplayName: player1

I editted the script, I had in my clipboard the other before I used it.
Edit: The script doesn’t works, I am trying to make a GET Request to the roblox api and get the username by there, not in the game.
Other Edit: I didnt add a variable, thats why it didnt work

Ok, regardless you can’t ping roblox using httpservice. You’ll either have to use a proxy, or what I gave in my post.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) relies on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to send the messages from one side to the other side (browser-client) and talking about the log saying there’s no data: I, Riley suggest you check the target server’s domain name or IP address and see if there are any typos. Or possibly you need to check your open ports.
