I don't get HTTPService at all. Any help?
I understand that people don't like making scripts for others, so instead I'm asking for an understanding of the subject. I don't understand HTTPService even after reading the wiki page. I feel I could really do more with my scripting if only someone would help me grasp the concept. Thanks in advance.

HTTPService has two main functions - GetAsync and PostAsync
GetAsync retrieves the HTML from the url provided:
print(game:GetService('HttpService'):GetAsync('http://example.org'))
In the output you should see lots of text. This can be used for a lot of things.
PostAsync posts to the url provided with a value and some other optional parameters.
There are different APIs for different websites that do specific things, such as the Discord, Trello or Pastebin web APIs.
