that's dumb because they allow you to bot any other website if you want but not their own
anyway, anyone have a proxy? at least for api.roblox.com? |

"anyway, anyone have a proxy?" Loads of people, but Roblox keeps blacklisting the proxies they use.

Because of terrible scripters that would DDoS the site Now if only roblox would prevent terrible scripters from using FilteringEnabled |

I can run it off my ROBLOX web hosting if you need it (unlimited bandwith) but yeah all the proxies get banned.

| What is even the point of banning proxies? If some c9-hosted proxy server can crash their servers, blacklisting it on HttpService won't do anything. |

There is really no point...at all.
Guys, you're trying to find *logic* in this, and that's the problem. Stop thinking logically. Think corporately.

so api.roblox.com is only to be used externally and not for in-game?
that's dumb |

They don't care if you're doing it for individual projects, they only seem to care if you're running open ROBLOX proxying services...for some reason. It's all very arbitrary.

| Because you can access their content from rbxasset:// or use :LoadAsset() to get an asset that is either yous or ROBLOX's. They probably blocked it as otherwise there might be a flaw where people can access other people's accounts. |

I've heard a lot of rumors about why it is, mostly "To prevent exploits caused by directly accessing it", to "That would cause problems with their servers, trying to get their servers to send data to themselves."
Even if either of those made sense, it still wouldn't explain why they ban external websites from using api.roblox.com just because they are used as proxies.

i really don't understand why api.roblox.com is documented in the wiki but you can't even use it for a game on ROBLOX

The wiki page on it was an afterthought really, see https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=90532907
Admittedly there are few uses for them. |

but only the methods are useful because all of the links (apart from the image links) can't be used with HttpService
there really is very little point to httpservice if ROBLOX bans proxies that access roblox.com and api.roblox.com

| HttpService is awesome. accessing roblox.com is far from the only thing it's useful for. You can make a whole legitimate stock market sim. And with custom headers there are even more possibilities like ozzypig's GameAnalytics.com thing. |

I set up a proxy for this.
HttpService:GetAsync("https://valkyrie.crescentcode.net/rproxy/api/marketplace/productinfo?assetId=1818")
Replace "api" with any subdomain of roblox.com. Use "www" to access the main site.
Replace "marketplace/productinfo?assetId=1818" with the path of the URL. "docs" will access api.roblox.com/docs |
