[games.roblox.com] Use place id to get universe id

Looking at the documentation for games.roblox.com endpoints, I notice there’s one called multiget-place-details that returns the universe id from a place id but it requires authentication, which I can’t use. Are there any other endpoints that do this?

If you’re just trying to get the place ID of the current game use DataModel.PlaceId.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/property/DataModel/PlaceId

Not making a game, I’m using web APIs through a proxy server for something

try this perhaps?

I don’t know if you want to use this URL, but it works out:

https://api.roblox.com/universes/get-universe-containing-place?placeid=[place id here]

Just learned this today, api.roblox.com will be removed soon. This post:

Shows a reliable alternative that requires you to have a token.
