What does this error mean?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

‘DataStoreService: InternalServerError: An internal server error occurred. API: GetAsync, Data Store: HDAdminSystemDataV1.0’

I can send the script if you need it to understand, thanks for any help.

#2

Did you enable api requests in the game settings ?

And does this error shows everytime you run the script ?

I don’t think it appears everytime, hold on ill run it again.

Heres my script incase you need it:

local function getUserGeneratedTShirtsRecursive(username, tshirts, cursor)
						tshirts = tshirts or {}
						cursor = cursor or ""
						local requestUrl = baseUrl:format(username, cursor)
						local success, result = pcall(function()
							return http:GetAsync(requestUrl)
						end)

						if success then
							if result then
								local success2, result2 = pcall(function()
									return http:JSONDecode(result)
								end)

								if success2 then
									if result2 then
										for _, tshirt in ipairs(result2.data) do
											table.insert(tshirts, tshirt.id)
										end

										cursor = result2.nextPageCursor
										if cursor then
											return getUserGeneratedTShirtsRecursive(username, tshirts, cursor)
										else
											return tshirts
										end
									end
								else
									warn(result)
								end
							end
						else
							warn(result)
						end
					end
					
					local exitButton = loser.PlayerGui.Donation.Frame.Exit
					
					exitButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
						loser.PlayerGui.Donation.Enabled = false
					end)
					
					loser.PlayerGui.Donation.Enabled = true -- THIS IS THE PART THAT SHOULD MAKE IT VISIBLE

					local username = loser.Name
					local winnerName = winner.Name
					local userTShirts = getUserGeneratedTShirtsRecursive(winnerName)
					local num = (#userTShirts) 
					
					game.ReplicatedStorage.Donation:FireClient(winner)
					
					loser.PlayerGui.Donation.Frame.TextLabel.Text = "Donate to ".. winnerName
					
					local table1 = {}
					
					for i = num, 1, -1 do
						local Asset = MarketPlaceService:GetProductInfo(userTShirts[i])
						local assetPrice = Asset.PriceInRobux
						local assetId = Asset.AssetId
						
						if assetPrice == nil or assetId == nil then
							print("Failure")
						else 
							-- Create a new table for each item with the price and id
							local item = {price = assetPrice, id = assetId}

							-- Insert the item into the table
							table.insert(table1, item)
						end

						-- Create a new table for each item with the price and id
						
					end
					
					table.sort(table1, function(a, b)
						return a.price < b.price
					end)

					for i, item in ipairs(table1 or {}) do
						if item then
							local price = item.price or "default price"
							local id = item.id or "unknown"
							
							local newButton = workspace.DonateButton:Clone()
							newButton.Text = price .. " R$" 

							local id = Instance.new("IntValue", newButton)
							id.Value = item.id

							newButton.Parent = loser.PlayerGui.Donation.Frame.itemsScroller
							
						else
							
						end
					end

Yes, it doesn’t appear all the time.

The error means that the API request itself failed, which is why we pcall datastore requests, scenarios like this have a slight chance of happening once in a while.

You can try using retry logic, basically, if the request fails, reattempt the request:

local function someFunction(...)
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		return DS:GetAsync(someKey)
	end)
	if not success then
		warn(response)
		return someFunction(...)
	end
	--code that runs on success goes here
end

The above code won’t cause the game to crash/lag due to recursion because the GetAsync function yields the thread for a small amount of time when making an actual attempt. However, it may have this crash/lag-like behavior if datastore requests are disabled from the game settings or if there’s an actual error in the function arguments/call.

Thank you very much for your help :slight_smile: . I’ve been stuck on a bug in my code for 3 days, I don’t suppose you know whats going on? Fair enough if you don’t have time, I know theres quite a bit of code to read through.
