This is actually because roblox doesn’t allow HTTP requests to their site directly, but there are ways around this:

Try using this: https://groups.roblox.com/docs#!/Groups/get_v1_groups_groupId
The HTTP request url would be https://groups.roblox.com/v1/groups/[GROUP ID]
Make sure to wrap the function in a pcall

Not sure if this will work though, since theres is a v2, but it doesnt seem to work

As previously stated, you cannot make requests to the Roblox website or APIs from the HttpService. You’ll need to proxy the request using a service such as rprxy.

Also your request URL is strangely formatted. Your URL already contains the group ID, but you have appended it to the hash, which is unnecessary.

The request URL is also for the group’s page on the website, which returns a HTML document. You need to use the groups API to get JSON data, or parse the HTML document yourself.
