Webhook isn't working at all, no errors appearing in console?
Basically, I'm trying to make a webhook that will send all messages being sent in my roblox game to a channel in my discord server
(you may think this would be API abuse but I don't plan to have any more than 10 people in the game at once)
I think the problem could be the variables, but I'm not entirely sure, I'm a bit of a noobie with API.
**The code: **
game.Players:FindFirstChild().Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local text = msg
local user = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Data = {
["content"] = "`"..text.."`",
["username"] = user,
}
Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)
http:PostAsync("*webhook link redacted.*", Data)
end)

I'm not familiar with discord's API, but are you certain that they use JSON and not some other format? SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

To me, that code looks fine, my guess is something on the other end is wrong. SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

Ok, well in the [REDACTED] webhook link, do they give you a custom webhook link or is it some generic one with a key they give you? SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

There was nothing wrong with any of the http stuff, just a simple mistake with finding the first player, and also no getting a LocalPlayer from a server script:
game.Players.ChildAdded:Wait()
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChildOfClass("Player")
player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
local text = msg
local user = player.Name
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Data = {
["content"] = "`"..text.."`",
["username"] = user,
}
Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)
http:PostAsync("", Data) --Put the link you saved between the two quotes.
end)
