What happens when you get bored making your math homework? You write simple algorithms to occupy your mind. No, I don’t have ADHD.

While browsing YouTube I came across this video which made me want to make a version for myself. And I did it.


(low quality for the upload to work)

  • :orange_circle: - the root
  • :white_circle: - un-scanned node
  • :red_circle: - the node encountered an error
  • :green_circle: - scanned node
  • :large_blue_circle: - End-Of-Line node, page has no more accessible URLs
Download for them curious people

I recommend not publishing this since Roblox can flag it as breaking the “No redirecting users off-platform” rule. If you do publish it some mention of me would be appreciated :))

Lazy to download, curious to know how?

It’s just one click of a button. BUUUT:

local function ExtractLinks(URL)
	local Success,Content = pcall(function()
		return HttpService:GetAsync(URL)
	end)
	if Success then
		local ExtractedLinks = {}
		for Link in Content:gmatch('href="(.-)"') do
			if Link:find("http://") or Link:find("https://") then
				table.insert(ExtractedLinks,Link)
			end
		end
		return ExtractedLinks
	else
		return ("%s"):format(Content)
	end
end

Yeah. That simple. Who would’ve thought?
It is important to filter out any result that doesn’t contain “https://” or “http://” since it can happen.

Credits to the original creator for making this idea, I just coded it worse in a different engine.
