How to get the animation ID of the pose from profile pictures?

I’m working on a game that lets you see how your profile picture would look with any pose from any emote on Roblox, because the Roblox app doesn’t let you do that before you buy them, and I think that would be helpful, but to make this game work, I need to get the animation ID of the pose that goes with the profile pic of a player.

I know that profile pictures are made with poses from emotes from the Roblox app, which are like frozen frames from an emote animation, but I don’t know how to get those animations in code.

Is there a Roblox API or a way that can give me the animation ID of the pose that is used for a certain profile picture? Like, if a player’s profile picture is using the “Salute” emote, can I get the animation ID of the pose from the “Salute” emote somehow?

I’m curious because I’ve seen the Roblox app do this, and I wonder if I can use the same API that the app is using. I’ve checked the Roblox API reference and the devforum, but I didn’t find anything about this. If anyone knows how to do this, or if there is a workaround, please let me know ty

I’m not sure if there is a definite way to check what emote a Player is using in their profile picture. Players would have to rely on their own senses to see which emote fits the profile picture.
