Is it possible to read a webpage and display text content in ROBLOX?
I would like to create a way for players to look up words in a dictionary. So if the user looks up the definition for Hello I could read the definition from: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hello
Is this even possible? I believe httpservice can do this but I've never done anything with it and was unable to find much documentation on the service.
Edit: So I did a quick little test with httpservice and the result from the page is a long string of HTML which appears incomplete. The data I need is not in the HTML string. At this point, even if it was, how would I separate the data relevant to my idea?

I think I found some documentation. It seems like the ability to access roblox domains would be incredibly useful for many things. AZDev 590 — 6y
