Keyword parameter not working for Games List API

[Jonny_Apple445 (Jonny_Apple)]

Reproduction Steps

If you go to https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/list?keyword=example, it will not show any games in the games array.

Device Info

• User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/110.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/110.0.1587.56
• Platform Type: PC
• Device Type: Computer
  
  

Expected Behavior

I would expect games which related to the keyword parameter to show up in the games array or the API should produce an error if there isn’t the right information provided.

Actual Behavior

When going to the website with the keyword parameter provided, the API will not show any games in the list as shown below.

However without the parameter, the API shows games as normal, as shown below.

hey @Jonny_Apple445, thanks for your inquiry. It appears that you are using an API endpoint that has been recently deprecated. Here’s an alternative endpoint that you can use instead: https://www.roblox.com/games/list-json?keyword=example&startRows=0&maxRows=40.

However, please keep in mind that we do not officially support these developer APIs and we cannot guarantee their continued availability.

Could you describe your use case and why you need to make this call? This would help us prioritize future work to support this.

Here’s an alternative endpoint that you can use instead:

Is there any reason why the alternative was moved off the games api endpoint page and onto the normal Roblox domain?

Hi Xoroshoh,

Thanks for giving me a replacement.
The reason for using that API is because I have a discord bot which helps search Roblox. So being able to use keywords is quite helpful for users to find games.
