I am 99.99% sure that roblox doesn’t have a built in way to have hyper links, however is there any way this could be possible to replicate. I am wondering this because I just today made a search engine on roblox, however it would be much better/more useful if you could actually click on the links.

If you have any ideas or know anything I should know about this please let me know!
Game Link If You Want It: Open Web - Roblox
(EDIT - 2 years later: The search no longer works due to the API I used being gone, I might replace it or not. The Hyperlink method does still work tho)
Also guys adding on to my original post, if you know of a good html parser I can use then that would also work, don’t worry I would add site censoring to keep it appropriate.
Well as I mentioned, I’m not concerned about the display of the link as it is already fully displayed (you can scroll it if it’s long), however I want a hyperlink that would actually open this as a website OR a way to display the website in Roblox itself
this idea might be spamming in the devfourm but how about sending the link or shortent (english isnt my native lenguage) link by the devfourm like in the bulletin board
like the message will be
@(person who asked the link) here is your (hyper text) link
I don’t know what you would even do but if you did your own research I’m sure it would be possible.
If you had the user pre-connected to a website and linked to their roblox account you could requests to your API from roblox to redirect them to the website.
You can’t have these links in your game. The only allowed links on Roblox “are roblox.com links, youtube.com links, twitter.com links, and twitch.tv links, No other links are allowed. Posting any other links will result in further moderation actions.”
While this is a neat project, this almost certainly violates Roblox’s terms of service. I recommend continuing this project interesting outside of Roblox by making your own website with a search engine.
Well I am aware of that that’s why in a public version of the game I would not have the hyperlinks or if it’s allowed only have the hyper links to allowed websites.
Hey, this is kind of similar to what I was making (postponed for now), though I’m pretty sure hylerlinks (‘http’…) is censored in roblox, probably for safety concerns, imagine anyone sending any link xd, so maybe change the ‘http’ part?
Now I know that hyperlinks aren’t a thing and aren’t allowed in Roblox, because enough can only link to allowed websites, so the hyperlinks are mostly for the YouTube video, then I’d only have them allowed for allowed ( by Roblox ) websites. Now that is if I figure out how to make them.
I don’t know, even if you attempt to display a hyperlink in chat, I’m pretty sure it gets censored, but I know roblox is kind of alright with youtube so-
Free version (it limits to 600 requests a month though). Click the button and choose the free option, or a paid version (for more requests a month) if you want.
