HttpService:GetAsync() doesn't work?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I am trying to create a command to execute user-generate code from a link containing the raw code format.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    HttpService:GetAsync() does not seem to work no matter what I do.

elseif string.find(msg, "g/h/") then
		local cl = string.sub(msg, 5)
		print(cl)
		print(HttpService:GetAsync(cl))

Output:
13:31:48.605 https://pastebin.com/raw/G0g0eavk - Server - Handler:98
13:31:48.606 - Server - Handler:98

Command:
g/h/https://pastebin.com/raw/G0g0eavk

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

Tried using string.gsub() instead of string.sub() and it didn’t work aswell.

elseif string.find(msg, "g/h/") then
		local cl = string.gsub(msg, "g/h/", "")
		print(cl)
		print(HttpService:GetAsync(cl))

Are you doing this on the server or on a localscript?

Just tried to use HttpService:RequestAsync() and the result is quite intresting but confusing…

edit: [“Body”] returns the correct thing, gonna make adjustments

“Script” Instance ClassName so yes server script

Now this is what you call a dictionary, and RequestAsync includes the ‘body’ which is what you are trying to get.

Try this:

HttpService:RequestAsync(link here).Body

Then you can loadstring it

#8

That is not how RequestAsync works I think (I followed HttpService | Roblox Creator Documentation )

local cl = string.gsub(msg, "g/h/", "")
		local result = HttpService:RequestAsync({
			Url = cl;
			Method = "GET";
		})
#9

Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot about the methods and how HTTP requests really work, but yeah try that

local cl = string.gsub(msg, "g/h/", "")
local result = HttpService:RequestAsync({
      Url = cl;
      Method = "GET";
}).Body

Thank you to @ZYTRXS for helping me, in the end we solved it by using HttpService:RequestAsync() instead of HttpService:GetAsync()

local cl = string.gsub(msg, "g/h/", "")
local result = HttpService:RequestAsync({
	Url = cl;
	Method = "GET";
})
print(cl)
print(result.Body)
