As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to get a group’s banner (cover photo) without using external tools. As far as I’m aware the only method is to make a POST request to https://apis.roblox.com/profile-platform-api/v1/profiles/get and extract the AssetId for “CoverPhoto” with no way to get this data in engine
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because the only way to represent a group in-game currently is by showing its group icon (emblem) and I believe this could be added as a bonus since you can already get the EmblemUrl. It may be better to return the AssetId instead as it uses the old url format. I also believe that the group icon’s asset id should be added for consistency with modern API responses, but “EmblemUrl” should stay to avoid breaking older scripts that still use this approach.
Examples:
["EmblemImageAssetId"] = 12175772671,
["CoverPhotoImageAssetId"] = 115730218360573, -- should return nil if there is no banner
