Possible to search players ingame like on the website?

[baseparts]

I’m trying to add a search mechanic to my game so you can search other players to see their stats.

I’ve found the API for searching but you can’t request Roblox’s API’s: Users Api

Is it possible to search for players like on the website? :

You can just use a proxy. Replace Roblox with Roproxy.

For example, this:
https://users.roblox.com

Would become this:
https://users.roproxy.com

PSA: Stop using Roblox proxies!

For security reasons, Roblox blocks the use of HttpService to send requests to roblox.com URLs. To get around this, many developers have created and used “proxy websites” that act as an alternative to sending requests to roblox.com. The majority of developers choose not to host and/or write their own proxy, so many of them choose to use proxies that other people host, like rprxy.xyz. Stop doing this!! Why it’s a bad idea Single point of failure All of your tool’s traffic relies on this on…

I just decided to go with your solution until I find a better one. Thank you!

Yes, but unless you want to spend quite a bit each month hosting a web server go ahead. It’s just easier to use a proxy.

It’s easier, but keep in mind it is a terrible idea - see the post outlined above.

I already read the above post. Sure it seems good, but it gets dicey for the server’s pricing especially if his game gets more popular meaning more requests will be sent.
