I have been looking for a way to get latest status updates from status.roblox.com from the api and the website, but couldn’t find anything.
Is there a way to getcurrent roblox status from the website/roblox api?
Also, can I somehow check when information is being updated?
Just send a request to your desired endpoint and read the status code.
Turns out that method returns an error “HttpService is not allowed to access ROBLOX resources”
print(game:GetService("HttpService"):RequestAsync({Url="http://status.roblox.com/",Method = "GET"}))
I bet there is another way to get information from there.
Oh I didn’t realise you’re doing it from in game, you can’t send HTTP requests to roblox.com servers from a roblox server to prevent self-ddosing themselves.
I guess you’d need to use a proxy to get it from in-game.
Its fixed. Take a look:
I kept looking at it, I saw it’s back online like 5 mins later.
So, you say status.rprxy.com may work, right?
No - you’ll need to create yourself a Proxy hosted on a 3rd party server such as Heroku then send requests to that.
Nevermind I’m wrong, if there is already a public proxy you can use that. However send requests to the Web API endpoint other than the status page.
In the meantime, I found the corresponding post for how to create a custom Proxy on Heroku (here).
You can use this endpoint to receive a json of roblox’s status. (No proxy required)

Sadly if you do not own a status page, the result is cached for 15 minutes.
