Items have been hidden causing item pages not to load

Bug Reports Catalog Asset Bugs

The cause of the issue is the economy API
https://economy.roblox.com/v2/assets/:item_id:/details

It seems that the API fails to recognize that these are valid items and throws the following error:

{"errors":[{"code":5,"message":"The asset id is invalid.","userFacingMessage":"Something went wrong"}]}

Since the economy API fails to respond with a valid response the item page fails to load.
Here is a full compiled list of all the items that have this issue (68 items in total):
broken_items.txt (2.6 KB)

Currently there is a way around it by using the developer product endpoint, which was never meant to be used for items.
Example:
https://economy.roblox.com/v2/assets/8777152268/details

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": 5,
      "message": "The asset id is invalid.",
      "userFacingMessage": "Something went wrong"
    }
  ]
}

@Alpkurt2 has previously reported the issue on a few items, however the bug report was just ignored and nothing was done about. I hope this time something actually gets done about these items as some of these items have owners. For example the Vans shade used in the example above was previously obtainable according to youtube videos made on it.

Alpkurt’s report on this issue:

Expected behavior

I’d expect the item pages to load and show information about the item. Along with the economy API returning valid information about the item.

Its been about 5 days, the bug report hasn’t even been acknowledged and the bug still continues. Hopefully someone picks up on this soon.

Thank you for reporting your issue. After a bit of investigation, I can confirm that assets/{assetId}/details endpoint is returning correctly. This endpoint does not return item information if the item is not consumable / visible.
Also, for developer-products - that endpoint has been deprecated: Official List of Deprecated Web Endpoints - #84 by archang3l289

What about hidden items which people own that can’t be worn like the Vans Black-White Checkerboard ####### Sunglasses for example. This item was obtainable through normal means but because it’s hidden players who have it can’t wear it due to recent changes.
