Batch thumbnail endpoint returns placeholder icon instead of the expected place icon

[The_Potato97 (Potato)]

1. Open terminal
2. Send the following POST request using curl:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://thumbnails.roblox.com/v1/batch' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '[
  {
    "requestId": "3260590327",
    "targetId": 3260590327,
    "type": "PlaceIcon",
    "size": "150x150",
    "format": "png",
    "isCircular": false
  }
]'

3. Visit the imageUrl provided by the API and observe that it displays a placeholder icon instead of the expected place icon.

Expected behavior

I’d expect the API to return the correct imageUrl instead of a placeholder icon

This also happens with this endpoint: https://thumbnails.roblox.com/v1/places/gameicons

I am also running into the same issue with my web panel, very annoying.

For your usecase you might be able to use “GameIcon” type or
/v1/places/gameicons

[lAmVolvic (Volvic)]

I use both Game Icon and thumbnails I have to do some hacky things to get what I need because the old way kept returning placeholder icons

[The_Potato97 (Potato)]

Oh my bad I meant /v1/games/icons

Have an issue with this on my GitHub profile now too - GitHub - Vorlias/Vorlias: Lol...

Greetings! Thanks so much for the bug report. We have released a fix for both the v1/batch and v1/places/gameicons thumbnail endpoints so that the uploaded icon will be prioritized over the PlaceHolder and AutoGenerated ReturnType. Previously, PlaceHolder was set to the default which especially impacts v1/batch since it does not currently allow setting a ReturnType.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Please do let us know if you notice any further issues.
