Trello/Discord API Discussion

Dear reader;

Trello has been very useful to the Roblox platform since back in 2011, apparently trello a long time ago has blocked Roblox from sending information. However, Roblox allows trello from sending information to the games. For instance, adding admin with the support of kohls admin or Adonis, trello bans, API and a lot more.

Does it seem fair to many of you that trello blocks Roblox but Roblox doesn’t block trello? I mean like thousands of people during the years of 2011-2017 or 2018 have been active with trello, I guess it was a spam to all of the cards on the board or they don’t permit us.

Now, we are moving onto discord;

Discord is completely fine with Roblox and Roblox is completely fine with discord, I doubt it that they will block each other. The webhooks are very useful now days. Probably discord is being a good replacement of trello, as application services use the discord webhooks to send responses into the channel, game chat-logs just look on the channels, check me-in (track down on people who check in guest), and etc.

I apologise for my bad grammar.

What do you think about discord script API services these days? And, what do you think about the trello script API?

Which is better? Do you think it’s useful? Which is more supportive?

Hope to see your discussions below!

I wasn’t aware Trello blocked Roblox from sending data.

Mhm, trello app centers don’t work anymore. Or anything else, like announcements, feedback.

I feel like Trello and Discord should be used for entirely different things. Discord is a chat service, while Trello is an organization tool. It seems like you’re using Trello and Discord to try to act like things that they are not.

Exactly. It just doesn’t make sense to me, even though they are cool API features.

I believe the Trello API was meant to be used to keep track of teams and projects, which Roblox is currently made up of, and it looks like Roblox developers are using it for just that.

Whereas Discord was meant to be used as a protected social media platform, used by Roblox developers as a means of gathering an audience for their project.

I think the block to the Trello API is not very logical or true apparently. However, Discord recently silently unblocked Roblox a couple months ago I believe, so maybe Trello is following similar behavior? A theory might be that some kind of internal update needs to be pushed before allowing larger userbases to gain access to their trello API again, but I don’t really know.

I feel like this should go in #development-discussion? Try using the post approval procedure and moving it in there, if you can.

Are you sure Trello is still blocked? Perhaps they unblocked Roblox. We have an application centre which uses Trello, yet it still seems to be working fine. Not routing via a proxy either.

I have no idea if they unblocked them, the uncopylocked ones don’t work. It works but the answers won’t show up on the card only questions

Trello has not blocked Roblox. The uncopylocked ones may be not FilteringEnabled compatible anymore as I remember them sending HttpRequests from the client. 6 minutes ago, an application was just sent from Roblox to an application trello board.

Discord has already blocked Roblox and recently unblocked Roblox due to Roblox not being in compliance with their API limitations which is no longer the case.

Trello should have never been used as it has been on Roblox. It was quite literally outright abuse to the API. And some genius developer thought it’d be amazing to use it as such. So if Roblox was ever blocked I’d feel it would be very justified.

If you guys really want to use some sort of API. It’s very easy to roll your own with Node.js and MongoDB. No need to take advantage of some free service in some form that it wasn’t meant to be used in.

Discord is pretty nice to integrate with. And I believe Roblox should officially support the Discord SDK so players can take advantage of the join button, and spectate. However it’s quite clear that any API that doesn’t block Roblox will eventually be taken advantage of and abused by some undiscovered genius.

Also this isn’t the right category for this type of post and should be moved to Development Discussion.

Trello hasn’t blocked ROBLOX what do you mean? What is your source? Also if it had you could just get around it through a proxy.

Trello never blocked Roblox. You simply are using the API incorrectly.

Trello isn’t meant to be a database, it’s meant to be a personal management system. Even then, Trello’s time efficiency equates up to O(n^2) when most databases are O(log n) (I didn’t run this test myself, I got these values from someone who’s worked with Trello and a custom database solution).

Who cares? Nothing is going to change and not everything can be fair.

Discord already blocked Roblox’s UserAgent because developers weren’t using webhooks properly. Roblox ratelimited Discord requests and Discord silently unblocked Roblox’s UserAgent. You should do a bit of research so you know what you’re talking about.

Trello and Discord are far from being the same, however their usage applications are similar. Discord, however, is not meant to be a logging service. This can result in moderation action on the webhook (deletion), server or your own Discord account.

Doesn’t matter. You as the user decide how to use a product. Both of them have different intentions and capabilities, whether those are acceptable or not.

For any confusion, I meant Roblox blocked trello. I heard this from 3 certified developers, I don’t know why. I just wanted to see comments about it, however, thank you for the replies. I believe I got it wrong, sorry for the inconvenience.

Hearsay =/= Circumstance

Roblox blocking Trello would mean that Trello’s UserAgent cannot send requests to Roblox endpoints.

Neither is the case. You’re just working with outdated code.
