In my game I want to get the blurb of a profile but I really don't know how and I'm wondering if there's a way. Anybody? Get back soon.

It's very hard to access parts of the Roblox site with scripts. As far as I know, this idea is impossible.

@MrPrice,
"Note: You cannot retrieve information directly from 'www.ROBLOX.com', and if tried will result in an error."

Please pay particular attention to the above snippet.

Because they don't want you spamming their website with requests for information, directly.

Pretty sure ROBLOX just doesn't want a front page game, or two, or even ten, with say 10,000 active players to all simultaneously access a blurb of a character.

That's 10000 requests really rapidly, and wouldn't make the website happy.

I'm not sure, as I haven't tested it, but try MarketplaceService, I don't think player ID's would work for it, but if it does..,

Player IDs aren't marketplace IDs
