Hi developers!

We will be removing the already-deprecated HasBadge.ashx web endpoint on October 19th, 2020

To offer a brief explanation, we’re removing this endpoint since it is part of a deprecated Badges system that is no longer being actively maintained on the platform.

For game developers, please note that there are no in-game Lua code changes required going forward, as both the HasBadge and HasBadgeAsync Lua functions will remain operational after the shutdown of the old HasBadge.ashx web endpoint - https://assetgame.roblox.com/Game/Badge/HasBadge.ashx

This announcement is mainly for informational purposes, as well as to potentially notify any third party services or sites that are using the HasBadge.ashx endpoint of this upcoming removal.

For any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out! We would be happy to offer any clarification on what to expect moving forward. Thank you!

Hey Developers,

We will be removing the api proxy online status endpoint on January 31st, 2023:

Please switch over to the following replacement endpoints on presence api:

Thank you all for raising concerns about the incorrect last online time field in /v1/presence/users. Due to technical constraints, we have decided to deprecate the last online field in /v1/presence/users and introduce a supplementary endpoint which exposes last online date information (/v1/presence/last-online).

Hello Developers,

We will be deprecating the following endpoint on March 8. It has been moved to a new endpoint.

Please let us know if there are any problems or regressions.

Old API:

http://www.roblox.com/build/universes

Optional parameters include:

  • activeOnly: Only returns active universes

  • startRow: Pagination value which specifies the group of universes to show

  • groupId: The group universes to use

New API:

Programmatic access can be found in the Develop API.

For the user’s universes, use:

https://develop.roblox.com/v1/user/universes

For a group’s universes, use:

https://develop.roblox.com/v1/groups/{groupId}/universes

The new APIs differ in the following ways:

  • User and group universes are split into different endpoints
  • The pagination scheme uses a cursor instead of rows
  • activeOnly filter option is removed

You can also get this information in the new Creator Dashboard!

Thank you.
