Roblox API Issues

[connor_monster123 (Connor)]

Hey there!

I’m in the process of making a web admin panel for my Roblox game, but am having trouble using the Roblox API. What this script is suppose to do is get the user id of the username that was entered into the text box, but I can’t seem to get it working and was hoping someone could help me out.

Code:

<script>
        document.getElementById('searchForId').addEventListener('click', getUserID);

        async function getUserID() {
            const username = document.getElementById('result').value.trim();
            const url = `https://users.roblox.com/v1/usernames/users`

            const response = await fetch(url, {
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                },
                body: JSON.stringify({
                    "usernames": [username],
                    "excludeBannedUsers": false
                })
            });

            const data = await response.json();

            if (data.data && data.data.length > 0) {
                const userId = data.data[0].id;

                document.getElementById('result').textContent = `User ID: ${userId}`;
            } else {
                document.getElementById('result').textContent = 'User not found on Roblox';
            }
        }
    </script>

I have changed the method to both ‘POST’ and ‘GET’ and none of them work. Here are the errors I get

You’re trying to access the Roblox API, which is now blocked. Try using a proxy like ‘roproxy’. Change your url to “https://users.roproxy.com/v1/usernames/users” or just add your own proxy.

I’ll give it a try and see if it works, Thanks

[connor_monster123 (Connor)]

I changed the URL to that one, and nothing happens, I don’t get any errors, doesn’t show the user id, nothing in the console either

[Mikixxx0 (Dreamy)]

Change the method to “GET”.

GET Method: Used to retrieve information from the server.
POST Method: Used to create or update a resource .

[connor_monster123 (Connor)]

So just change the URL and Method?

Here’s the new code

<script>
        document.getElementById('searchForId').addEventListener('click', getUserID);

        async function getUserID() {
            const username = document.getElementById('result').value.trim();
            const url = `https://users.roproxy.com/v1/usernames/users`

            const response = await fetch(url, {
                method: "GET",
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                },
                body: JSON.stringify({
                    "usernames": [username],
                    "excludeBannedUsers": false
                })
            });

            const data = await response.json();

            if (data.data && data.data.length > 0) {
                const userId = data.data[0].id;

                document.getElementById('result').textContent = `User ID: ${userId}`;
            } else {
                document.getElementById('result').textContent = 'User not found on Roblox';
            }
        }
    </script>

I got it working, I had to move the button event and change GET to POST

[Mikixxx0 (Dreamy)]

Yeah, I’ve realized just now that it needs to be post instead of get. In the future use roproxy, instead of the roblox api, because most of the api is blocked.

Alright, Thank you so much! Have a nice day/night!
