I am using a local script for when a player clicks another player's torso it will bring up a gui. That gui is their player profile, and I am using an API to bring up the users stats located on the roblox website, but there is one problem.. HttpService does not work in a local script.

I was told to use remote events to call the API, but I don't really know how.

And the script has to be local or the click player function will not work..

Here is my whole entire script.

When they click a player, it will bring up the amount of friends they have but the text does not change at all. 

RbxApi = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.RobloxAPI)  --This gets the Module script in Replicated Storage

wait()

me = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = me:GetMouse();
Content = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Content")
Title = Content.Title
PlayerImage = Content.Page.Image.PlayerImage
FriendsText = Content.Page.Friends


plr = nil
--Click Function

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
    if mouse.Target ~= nil and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(mouse.Target.Parent) then
        plr = game.Players[mouse.Target.Parent.Name]
            Content.Visible = true
            Title.TitleContent.Text = plr.Name
			PlayerImage.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=100&y=100&username=" .. plr.Name 
end
end)

repeat wait() until plr ~= nil

--PlayerStats--

FriendCount = function(plr)
return tonumber(HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync("http://api.robloxapi.com/Users/FriendCount?UserId=" .. plr.userId)).Friends)
end;
FreindsText.Text = "Friends: " .. FriendCount(plr)

And if really needed,

here is the module script in replicated storage.
