POST/GET issue for Ban System

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Heyyyy! I’m trying to do a ban system and I’m using node.js for website to Post my request via HTTPS. But the problem is how do I made the website to Post the request for ban someone.

I host the website with Heroku.

I’ll sent the script in a edit shortly.

– Services –
local HttpService = game:GetService(“HttpService”)
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)
local RS = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

– Modules –
local NotificationModule = require(script.Parent.NotificationModule)
– Modules –

local banEvent = RS.Events.BanPlayer
local unbanEvent = RS.Events.UnbanPlayer

local URL = "https://websiteappbans.herokuapp.com"
local response = HttpService:PostAsync(URL, HttpService:JSONEncode(dataFields))

local status = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)["status"]

if status == 201 then

You can’t post to roblox, but one way to do it is long pulling.

The roblox server can send an http request to your server, and your server won’t respond unless you want to ban someone. Once the server responds with someone to ban and the connection terminates, or the connection somehow stops, you immediately send another request.

In this way, you can transfer data to roblox instantly.

Use a DataStore Editing Plugin

#4

Alrighty. I’ll check on it if I can fix it with this!

#5

Where I can found this? Do you have a link for it?

#6

Umm, its probably best just to make a datastore and then just edit it with a script that says whos banned and stuff.

Sorry for the late response, heres the link: DataStore Editor - Roblox
