Just saying, the field “url” does not exist in the main body of the message but it does exist inside of the embeds. The URL will appear as a masked link as Discord calls it and you will be able to click on the title text to go to the link.

You’re right. I must’ve looked at it and didn’t think much about it. I’ll fix it.

Unless you are using a proxy, you can’t send messages from Roblox servers to Discord (as discord blocks it).
Make sure you are using a proxy when firing the webhook otherwise it won’t work, regardless of how you format it.

I’m using this:
HttpService:PostAsync(EthicsWebhook, HttpService:JSONEncode(Data))
Is this correct?
HttpService:PostAsync(EthicsWebhook, HttpService:JSONEncode(Data))
I fixed the “content” bit earlier and still received the error unfortunately.
What do you mean by the keys being used wrong as well? That is how they are coded in this person’s code which I tested and it worked for them: How do you make a discord webhook send an embed message?
I’m using a proxy so that’s not the issue.
Hey,
First off, its important not to use the default webhook directly. Instead, you should use a proxy, because in Studio, the standard Discord webhook API should work. Your JSON encoding seems correct, but if errors occur ingame, it might be because Discord doesnt allow Roblox to send webhooks directly. In that case, you should use a proxy like webhook.lewisakura.moe.
Additionally, Im unable to see what the player picture is it could be nil or something else causing errors. I recommend printing out the value to check. The same goes for the Titles variable try printing it as well to debug.

This bit of data is inside of [embeds] = {} but when the message is sent to Discord, there is no thumbnail? What am I doing wrong here?
["thumbnail"] = {
["url"] = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId="..UserID.."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
},
When I print out the PlayerPicture, I get this in the output:
This is not a URL and this asset is only valid for Roblox’s user not Discord. You should be using a proxy to send a get request to the Roblox APIs to get the actual avatar thumbnail URL. Here is how I would be getting the avatar thumbnail:
local thumbnailURL:string = "https://thumbnails.roproxy.com/v1/users/avatar-headshot?userIds=%s&size=150x150&format=Png&isCircular=false"
local function getThumbnail(player:Player)
local userId:number = player.UserId
local response:string = nil
local success:boolean, errorMessage:string = pcall(function()
response = HTTPService:GetAsync(thumbnailURL:format(userId))
end)
if not success then
error(errorMessage)
else
return HTTPService:JSONDecode(response).data[1].imageUrl
end
end

That API endpoint has been removed since 2021. Also, you should be using a proxy to access the Roblox APIs from inside Roblox servers because Roblox does not allow you to directly access them. Please use the URL I have provided above.

You need to use: https://thumbnails.roproxy.com/v1/users/avatar-headshot?userIds=" .. UserId .. "&size=420x420&format=Png&isCircular=false this returns you an imageUrl that u can use
function getProfileImageUrl(UserId)
local success, response = pcall(function()
return HttpService:RequestAsync({
Url = “https://thumbnails.roproxy.com/v1/users/avatar-headshot?userIds=” … UserId … “&size=420x420&format=Png&isCircular=false”,
Method = “GET”,
})
end)
if not success or not response.Success then
return "8.8.8.8"
end
local successDecode, data = pcall(function()
return HttpService:JSONDecode(response.Body)
end)
if not successDecode or not data.data or not data.data[1] or not data.data[1].imageUrl then
return "8.8.8.8"
end
return data.data[1].imageUrl

I got this error
local ThumbnailURL:string = “https://thumbnails.roproxy.com/v1/users/avatar-headshot?userIds=%s&size=150x150&format=Png&isCircular=false”
local function getThumbnail()
local Response:any = nil
local Success:boolean, ErrorMessage:string = pcall(function()
Response = HttpService:GetAsync(ThumbnailURL:format(UserID))
end)
if not Success then
error(ErrorMessage)
else
return HttpService:JSONDecode(Response).data[1].imageUrl
end
end
local Thumbnail = getThumbnail()
Try this should you return the image Url correctly:
local function getProfileImageUrl(UserId)
local success, response = pcall(function()
return HttpService:RequestAsync({
Url = "https://thumbnails.roproxy.com/v1/users/avatar-headshot?userIds=" ..UserId.. "&size=420x420&format=Png&isCircular=false",
Method = "GET",
})
end)
if not success or not response.Success then
return "google.com"
end
local successDecode, data = pcall(function()
return HttpService:JSONDecode(response.Body)
end)
if not successDecode or not data.data or not data.data[1] or not data.data[1].imageUrl then
return "google.com"
end
return data.data[1].imageUrl
end

I checked what it was printing and it was the google.com link so the decode didn’t work
I think roproxy might be down right now. Take that with a grain of salt though but I think it might be down because (unless I am remembering this wrong) roproxy.com should take you directly to roblox.com but it says the site can’t be reached.

Oh, I figured it out! I accidentally had “%s” in the URL link but I removed it and it’s fixed now. Thank you so much to everyone who helped!
