RIP, literally every script I’ve ever written uses :connect()

:connect() > :Connect(), it looks so much nicer. Its pretty safe too, I reallllllly doubt they’d remove it. It’d be like removing Workspace so we could only use workspace, as workspace is the one thats offically supported.

I’ve switched to using :Connect as it just makes more sense to use the same case-format everywhere. Like DeepBlue said, I doubt they’ll remove it so I guess you can do what you want

Can I ask… how is :connect a web endpoint?

Can we maybe get a list of endpoints, deprecated or not, so that we know what’s on the table?
It was worth a shot.

New as of Jan 2018: https://points.roblox.com/docs
Some general notes:
If you can find an endpoint which suits your needs on one of the sites above, use that instead of a similar endpoint on www. Also, if you can find an endpoint on one of sites mentioned in the first paragraph, use that over api.roblox.com.
In addition, www obviously has endpoints but we don’t publish documentation for them.

As a general recommendation, try to use endpoints from the API sites @BAUER102 listed above. They are more stable than endpoints on www.roblox.com. They also have better documentation, which is a bonus

Talking about web endpoints, could it be possible to add something to grab all the transactions of a group?
It could be quite helpful to those trying to map old data before adding a system to do so (Analytics data) or with those who haven’t done that yet.

I’ve also found:
https://friends.roblox.com/docs
I’m not entirely sure if that one is intended for devs, considering it has something to do with matching by phone numbers…

It would be great if there was a way we could use a search API for people, groups, and etc.

Hey Developers,
We are planning to remove this API endpoint in a few weeks: This endpoint has been disabled: https://www.roblox.com/Game/LuaWebService/HandleSocialRequest.ashx
It is not possible to call this endpoint using HttpService, but we are posting this notice because some developers may be hitting this endpoint using their own web servers. If you are using it, please switch to one of the newer endpoints recommended below:
- Method: IsFriendsWith
- Methods: IsInGroup, GetGroupRank, or GetGroupRole

Can we not use IsFriendsWith, IsInGroup, GetGroupRank, or GetGroupRole anymore?
Make sure to read (at the very least…) the title of threads you’re posting in – “deprecated web endpoints”. This does not affect the API in-engine.
