Archived decals that are public still show up in the marketplace

When searching for decals, I notice that some decals are archived. They’re noticeable because of the icons they have (cards with question marks on them), like this:

If I were to use InsertService:LoadAsset() on the archived decal, it would end up giving me the error “Requested asset is archived.” This also happens when trying to insert them through the toolbox. I believe these shouldn’t show up in the Decals section since they are unable to be used within games.

Expected behavior

I expect for the toolbox-service API to not return any archived assets from any searches

This seems better fitted for the #bug-reports:website-bugs category.

I put it under “Catalog Asset Bugs” because this is an API issue, not so much a website issue.
Requesting https://apis.roblox.com/toolbox-service/v1/marketplace/13?limit=30&pageNumber=0&keyword=tucan (search for the keyword shown in my example) will still show that the offending asset is being picked up.

This also occurs with InsertService:GetFreeDecals("tucan", 0):

Though, at a second glance, I’m unsure if either category is fitting for this? “Roblox-created assets on the Marketplace” is too narrow, and “shopping for avatar items, browsing experiences, or managing your profile” is very general

Maybe then #bug-reports:roblox-application-and-website-bugs? That’s probably the closest you can get to reporting an issue with an API on here I think unfortunately

Or, maybe, you can try filing it under Website - display the issue on the site - then tack on the API as supplementary? It’s hard to say for sure which is best but I do think either of those would give you much more success then this category. This one’s almost exclusively used to report issues with specific catalog items & doesn’t normally expand to the creator marketplace

I’ll move this post to there then, seems fitting enough

Please do (doesn’t seem like you’ve done it yet, on my end). FYI #bug-reports:catalog-asset-bugs is for issues with Roblox-owned catalog items, not bugs with APIs
