Official List of Deprecated Web Endpoints

Hello Developers,

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

Old API

https://www.roblox.com/build/GamesbyContext

Required parameters include:

creationContext

Optional parameters include:

  • universeId
  • startRow
  • assetLinksEnabled
  • fetchUniversePlaces
  • showActiveOnly
  • groupId

New API

Programmatic access can be found in Games API

Consider /v2/users/{userId}/games and /v2/groups/{groupId}/games

There are a couple of differences between the two APIs. This includes:

  • Differences in pagination styles
  • Explicit split by group and user
  • Loss of most optional parameters

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

Thank you.

Hi creators, this is a follow up on our original post here:

The page based pagination interface on the following endpoints would be deprecated by 6/14/2024. Any attempt to query these endpoints with a query parameter of pageNumber > 1 after that date would result in a 400 status code being returned.

The page favorites by bundleType endpoint on catalog-api:
https://catalog.roblox.com/v1/favorites/users/1264320158/favorites/1/bundles?pageNumber=2&itemsPerPage=6

The favorites list-json endpoint on roblox.com:
https://www.roblox.com/users/favorites/list-json?userid=1264320158&pageNumber=2&assetTypeId=8&itemsPerPage=6

As a replacement, pls use the cursor-based pagination interface like this:

https://www.roblox.com/users/favorites/list-json?userId=1264320158&cursor=2zwAAAAG6Tk09&assetTypeId=8&itemsPerPage=6

For more details please refer to the original post linked above.

We apologize for the small amount of time given for developers to change the way they are calling our public apis, this was because 3 months of lead time was already given in our earlier announcement.

Hi Developers,

As of June 24th, we plan to stop supporting place asset uploads on data.roblox.com/Data/Upload.ashx. After this day, we will start rejecting place traffic on this endpoint. It will still be usable for other assets.

We recommend transitioning to our Open Cloud Place Upload for all future place asset uploads. Detailed documentation can be found here: Usage Guide for Place Publishing | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Thanks for your continuing support and let us know if you have any concerns.
