I am trying to make a system that gets information from other websites like Wikipedia and then I want to use that information in my game. I heard that Adopt Me! uses python. Is there a way I can make this with python. I have thought of using discord to communicate between languages. Python would send the information to discord and the Lua code will take it.
You would need an external server with a backend running on Python that will scrape the pages for you. Communication between a webserver and Roblox through a proxy such as Discord is unnecessary; you could make the request from Lua straight to your webserver. Just a heads up though: you can use HttpService to grab data from other sites, saving the need to set up a webserver to perform the same task at an extra cost.
