Direct input of massive JSON??

Asked by

I want to create a dynamic in-game catalog that displays item on-sale from a particular group. I originally was researching into using proxy sites to make the requests from the ROBLOX Catalog API, but as anyone who's looked into this will fine it's pretty darn impossible unless you have your own server set up for this.......

However I was thinking I could just paste the JSON file manually into ... somewhere... which then updates the catalog and saves the relevant information via DataStoreService.

Anyone have any ideas on how I might go about getting the JSON into the game manually??? I'm not sure what has limits on the length of the string n' stuff as I don't think I'd be able to make the input via GUI.

Just use HttpService and use :JSONDecode... no knowledge of JSON needed. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

In the absence of proxies, your solution seems practical. XAXA 1569 — 6y
