I am trying to make a loading screen and need a way to get the icon of my game, without having to upload an icon of the game to Roblox myself. Since this needs to be local I cannot make any direct http requests.
I have tried multiple ways of doing this, but it hasn’t proven successful.
I have tried the method on this page but it returns a default Roblox place icon.
As far as I know, you can’t. You’ll have to upload.
I personally didn’t look as much as I could have, but I found this developer forum post that might help you.
If this doesn’t help you, you can always try looking for a roblox api on the roblox wiki or such.
Unfortunately that’s for getting thumbnails and not for icons.
Have you tried this plugin? https://www.roblox.com/library/2849322379/Imiji-convert-image-IDs
You could team create with and alt and upload using that account
Everyone seems to be missing the point, I am attempting to load around 100 different game icons which can not be manually uploaded, as the games will gradually change. I have found a method to get a game’s icon but I am interested in finding alternate ways of doing it.
I’m not sure if you’re talking about a proxy/redirect when you say “direct http requests”, but the following code works without a proxy.
local PLACEID = 1234089431
local Product = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Details = Product:GetProductInfo(PLACEID)
local IconID = Details.IconImageAssetId
-- 2 examples
workspace.Part.Decal.Texture = "rbxassetid://"..IconID
workspace.Part2.Decal.Texture = "rbxthumb://type=Asset&id="..IconID.."&w=150&h=150"
I knew somebody would post it, that’s the method that I’ve been using.
You can also get the game icon using rbxthumb:
Note to get the image of a dev product, you also need to pass the second argument.
local ProductInfo = game.MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(1788183968, Enum.InfoType.Product)
local img = "rbxassetid://" .. ProductInfo.IconImageAssetId
