Could somoene help me, which Website can i use to send World Map data to Roblox and how can i send the HTTPS (Api?) Request? And how can i script it then inside Roblox, i dont really know how to do it
Have you thought about what exactly you are trying to achieve and if its even necessary to dynamically download earth’s data and load it in?
I’m certain that you can most likely get away with just using a sphere with a texture on it. Dynamic loading of large amounts of data on roblox is not easy to do, the game will be rate limited.
You can get world surface color and topographical maps directly from NASA over here.
Alternatively, if you do actually want to torture yourself with pre-fetching, dynamically loading the data and then somehow trying to find a way to seamlessly visualize the received data in roblox, then you can use the OSM read-only api, Overpass API.
The documentation should give some basic understanding of how to use the API, you pass a region defined by two points of longitude and latitude and in return you will get the corresponding data for that region. How you plan to interpret it to put it in roblox, i don’t know, but I wish you the best of luck with that.
You can play around with the API here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/
If you need any further help with whatever it is you are trying to make, you can ask the people over at Scripting Support - DevForum | Roblox , they should be able to help you more than we can.
I hope this helped.
Good luck.
