How to get UniverseID from PlaceID (Roblox Web API)

RussellSchutle · July 3, 2019, 7:22pm

Hello, I am wanting to make a web application that gets the CreatorID of a PlaceID but how could I get it?
(I know the CreatorID Is in DataModel but I am needing it in a web application for various reasons.)

Expected Result: Posted PlaceID to web application → PlaceID transfers to UserID of the owner

I have tried https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/multiget-place-details?placeIds=(PlaceID)
but I soon figured out the web client needs to be logged in. (Which I do not want)

Any questions about the problem ask away! Any Help Is Appreciated.

Thanks, but it doesnt contain the API for games. I used https://games.roblox.com/docs

https://api.roblox.com/Marketplace/ProductInfo?assetId=(PlaceID) (also works with assets)

You can use this.

By web client needing to be logged in, what are you referring to? The endpoint doesn’t need any login information. Just pass a PlaceId and it should give you a JSON table of the place’s details. No?

This endpoint needs a .RobloxSecurity cookie for some reason. It’s a really weird artifact. (You can test this by opening the browser in incognito mode)

Thanks! Didn’t know it works for places too.
