How to use httpservice?
hs = game:GetService("HttpService")
test = hs:GetAsync("http://www.roproxy.tk/Asset/AvatarAccoutrements.ashx?userId=57686851", true)
print(test)
This one printed the body of the html
hs = game:GetService("HttpService")=
test = hs:GetAsync("http://www.roproxy.tk/Asset/AvatarAccoutrements.ashx?userId=57686851", true)
local Items = hs:JSONDecode(test)
when i tried to decode the JSON this error came out Can't parse JSON
now i want to use the data i obtained to turn it into a character changing appearance without dying is there a way to turn the data to a table?

I can't help much more then this, look up more information about it on Roblox Wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=HttpService_for_Dummies alphawolvess 1784 — 9y

There is a CharacterAppearance Property of Players might be more useful for this.
Now, to answer your question: Because it's in JSON, you first have to decode it into a Table, this can be done Via:
local URLs = {}
hs = game:GetService("HttpService")
test = hs:GetAsync("http://www.roproxy.tk/Asset/AvatarAccoutrements.ashx?userId=57686851", true)
for String in string.gmatch(test, "(.-);") do
URLs[#URLS + 1] = String;
end

Oh, look at that, it's not returnning JSON, let me modify the code above Abaw7 5 — 9y

There, changed to fix it, basically, it's using gmatch from the string library to catch the URLs which are conveniently separated by semicolons Abaw7 5 — 9y

Do note the last one doesn't end with a semi-colon, so something more like "([^;]+)" (anything not a semicolon+) would work better. Edited your answer move the link from plaintext to an actual link with text. User#2 0 — 9y
