local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local MainGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = MainGui.TextButton
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

TextButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	local TextBoxID = MainGui.TextBox.Text
	local UsernameWeb = "https://api.rprxy.xyz/users/"..TextBoxID
	
	local function printUsername()
		local response
		local data
			
		pcall(function()
			response = HttpService:GetAsync(UsernameWeb)
			data = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
		end)
		
		if not data then return false end
		
		if data.Id == (TextBoxID) then
			print(data.Username)
		end
end
end)

My script should work as follows:
User enters ID into text box, presses enter. Script looks up the ID through a proxy and prints a username, it’s not doing anything, even giving an error. :frowning_face:

edit: This is a localscript, not sure if that makes a difference.

I believe data.Id will be a number, while TextBoxID is a number string. Try converting one to the other and then comparing.

I see what you mean, the data.Id is an integer while the TextBoxID is a string.

Sorry, yes, I meant “TextBoxID is a string”.

You’re also not calling that sub-function (printUsername). You need to call printUsername() before your final end, or this function will never run.

You can move this function outside of your MouseButton1Up connection however.

With this, still not getting a single response from it…

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local MainGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = MainGui.TextButton
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

TextButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	local TextBoxID = MainGui.TextBox.Text
	local UsernameWeb = "https://api.rprxy.xyz/users/"..(TextBoxID)
	
	local function printUsername()
		local response
		local data
			
		pcall(function()
			response = HttpService:GetAsync(UsernameWeb)
			data = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
		end)
		
		if not data then return false end
		
		local IdString = tostring(data.Id)
		
		if IdString == (TextBoxID) then
			print(data.Username)
		end
	
end
printUsername()
end)

You can’t use HttpService from a LocalScript. It can only be used on the server. You need to relay the request through a RemoteEvent or RemoteFunction.

Edit: Here’s some completely untested code I’ve just written on my phone that should allow you to proxy the request with a ModuleScript:

ReplicatedStorage.ClientHttp 
local Http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Module = {}

local GetAsyncRemote = Instance.new("RemoteFunction")

function Module.GetAsync(...)
  if script:IsA("LocalScript") then
    return GetAsyncRemote:InvokeServer(...)
  else
    return Http:GetAsync(...)
  end
end

GetAsyncRemote.OnServerInvoke = function(Player, ...)
  return Module.GetAsync(...)
end

return Module

Use like so:

local HttpProxy = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ClientHttp)

local response = HttpProxy.GetAsync("example.com/abcdefg")

That may or may not work but I’m not at my PC right now to create a full-fledged solution or test it.
