Obtaining OBJ File of assets with Asset Delivery / Other external API?

[WaterJamesPlough (Neil)]

The title most likely explains everything, I am pretty sure Asset Delivery would be the only web based API to obtain the assets.

Roblox’s mesh format isn’t a format you can normally export to or import into Roblox Studio, but you can download meshes by their assetId using the assetdelivery API. This resource aims to be an unofficial spec for interpreting this format, so you might be able to write code externally that can read Roblox mesh files. It is assumed…
