I API banned myself with ALT Detection on, how do I unban?

[HelpSupport01 (vapour)]

I heard that the alt detection isn’t as sensitive as most might think. Have you tried to add an alt to your game to try and unban yourself?

There’s a post created about this with a really hacky way of unbanning yourself:

While that works, if you forget to delete or anything, about that alt account, it’s bad.

I just explored the API a little bit. I can update my ban request with it, all I have to do is generate a key and run something like that

UserRestriction | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

const url = 'https://apis.roblox.com/cloud/v2/universes/<UNIVERSE-ID>/user-restrictions/<USER-ID>';

const data = `{"gameJoinRestriction": {
   "active": true,
   "duration": "3000s",
   "privateReason": "some private reason",
   "displayReason": "some display reason",
   "excludeAltAccounts": false
 }
}`;

const response = await fetch(url, {
   method: 'PATCH',
   headers: {
       'x-api-key': 'PUT-API-KEY-HERE-BUT-DONT-LEAK',
       'Content-Type': 'application/json',
   },
   body: data,
});

const text = await response.text();

console.log(text);

And then change the duration to like 1s or something. This can be run in the console, but you have to make a API Key for it. You’d run it while on this page https://apis.roblox.com/cloud/ or something, just to prevent CORS issues.

There’s other ways to run this in API, but this is the like the “patching” way on doing it quickly.

Technically, since there are secrets in a game, you could eventually even integrate BanAsync that works in Studio
