I want get data from the roblox API like https://friends.roblox.com/ API from inside roblox game

So far I’ve learned that in order to do so you’ll need a Proxy.

While I was researching about Proxy I came across something called a ‘Proxy Server’: A proxy server is a server that finds itself between an internet user’s network and the destination (the website or page, etc.) they’re trying to connect to.

So my question is, It is possible to use these proxy servers to access the internet inside from roblox? if so, how it can be done?

Or is it better to setup my own VPS?

You’d have to host your own server which would act as proxy.
This can get a bit pricey if you have a lot of active players but there are no other workarounds unfortunately.

I see, thanks for the information.
So is there any free hosting services you’d recommend?

Just use https://roproxy.com

You simply have to replace roblox.com with RoProxy.com, so for instance you would make a request to https://friends.roproxy.com

Heroku is definitely the best free choice in your case.
Later, if your playerbase grows and heroku isn’t enough, then you can move on to digitalocean, which isn’t free but scales pretty well and easily.

Thanks, RoProxy seems to be working for me and I’m aware that it can go down anytime, but if the player base seems to be growing in the future I’ll use a VPS to make my own proxy.
