[itsgarib2]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. What do you want to achieve?:
   Im trying to make roblox in roblox with all games and like ratings being accurate.

2. What is the issue?:
   I can’t use roblox api in roblox HttpService

3. What solutions have you tried so far?:
   Tried RoProxy and many other proxies. They work well but it comes to a problem when i try this api: https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/votes?universeIds=

I don’t know how to fix.

Hey, so I don’t know much about this but are you using UniverseID and Not GameID

The difference between both:

GameID is what you see on a game page
https://www.roblox.com/games/606849621/Jailbreak

UniverseID is different from it. If you ask me how, I’m not fully sure. Sorry. But you can find your games UniverseID by going to https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations and find any game and click the 3 dots

You should see this menu

Click “Copy UniverseID” and that’s your game UniverseID

Here’s a topic on how to get a UniverseID

How can I get the UniverseID of someone else's game?

So, I made a game that is basically a custom search engine consisting of only OG roblox games and I also included an option for other players to submit a game, using the submitted game’s ID, so that it can be added to the search engine automatically. However, to check to see if the game qualifies as an OG game and also is playable, I need the universe ID. I was initially using an endpoint that would allow me to get the UniverseID using just the game’s place ID, but it got removed some time ago. …

Yes I’m using the universe ID but still doesn’t work.

I think the API is broken because when I go to the website of roproxy and to that specific API it shows this:

Sorry, you have been blocked

You are unable to access roproxy.com

It works fine on every other API tho

This is done intentionally. Roblox prohibits you from using their API using their servers. That means you’ll have to use a proxy.

As you already said you’ve been blocked from roproxy, have you perhaps been misusing the API by sending too many requests not in compliance with rate limits? If you haven’t personally, I guess Roblox themselves could’ve blocked roproxy due to its high volume of requests as a public free proxy. Not sure of any free alternatives unfortunately, but you’ll have to use a proxy to use Roblox API in your game.

I may have sent 5000 request in 5 seconds. Maybe because of that.

Yeahhh… you think so? 1,000 a second is wild.

[itsgarib2]

Yeah I know… it is a bit too much…
