Is this possible to do with basic LUA scripting?

Apologies in advance if this sounds daft, I have very little experience with scripting and am just unsure how to go about doing this.

I am trying to create a game where you can input information (values, text, info etc) into a google spread sheet, and then the information will be relayed directly into a menu in Roblox studio. (Basically, there would be a search function for players usernames, you can search their username, and then information that was previously written about that particular user in the google spread sheet would appear in the search results in-game)

I’ve tried reaching out to several scripters but none seem to understand what I’m trying to accomplish, and I just wanted to check if this is in fact something that is possible to do in Roblox Studio / if I need to go about it in a different manner.

Any feedback / advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is a Complicated thing to do, You may be able to use HttpService to accomplish your goal here, But I would Recommend Learning more about the Basics Before doing Something Like this. It will Benefit you in the Future.


Here is a Video that might help:

I’ve seen this done before and I believe there’s a #resources:community-resources resource regarding this topic, you might want to look into it.

HttpService is a definite must for this though so I advise getting familiar with it!

You can do something like this using databases and HTTP service, I’ve made something similar using mongoDB for a ranking system. It’s not as hard as it might seem once you familiarize yourself with json encoding.

I’m spending roughly 100K robux on the project :slight_smile:

I can recommend using pastebin for your data base, google API is super annoying to deal with. How many people do you plan on storing?
