When ever I try to save using datastores I get this error:

502: API Services rejected request with error. HTTP 403 (Forbidden) Stack Begin Script 'ServerScriptService.PlayerStast', Line 20 Stack End

this is my code:


local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

--Data stores
local ds = DSS:GetDataStore("Cash") ---Cash


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    --PlayerStats
    local stats = Instance.new("Folder")
    stats.Name = "PlayerStats"
    stats.Parent = player

    --Cash
    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Parent = stats
    cash.Value = ds:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash") or 100
    cash.Changed:Connect(function()
        ds:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.PlayerStats.Cash.Value)
    end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    ds:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.PlayerStats.Cash.Value)
end)

Hello there, simple solution:

1. Go to the Develop page

2.Click on the Games tab and find your game

3.Click on the gear drop down and click "Configure"

4.Check the box labeled "Enable Studio Access to API Services:"

The reason for this is because ROBLOX Studio needs Acess to the API services inorder to read and send data from the client, thus requiring you to permit them to do so. Other than that the code will not work, especially in studio. Follow the steps in order to solve your problem.

Unlike the other awnser I explained what to do and gave you a reasoning. Please tell me if you have any more questions regarding DataStores and API services RBLXNogin 187 — 5y

Ive logged on to the owners account (my brother (we are creating a game together)) and it worked fine. But when i logged back on to my account it didnt work again deadwalker601 110 — 5y
