Hello Creators,

We will be deprecating the old purchasing endpoint for Creator Store assets on 10/23. Since we launched real-world currency (USD) pricing for Creator Store assets, we have disabled Robux purchasing through this endpoint and have replaced this with a newer API. This does not affect any other purchasing flows for other products on our platform. This API was not seeing that much traffic and is being replaced with the newer one below.

Old API
POST https://apis.roblox.com/creator-marketplace-purchasing-service/v1/products/{productId}/purchase

New API
POST https://apis.roblox.com/marketplace-fiat-service/v1/product/purchase

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Creators,

In the coming weeks, we will be updating the Presence API to make two changes to strengthen user privacy on our platform.

Currently, this API returns presence information for all users (both friends/non friends) and last online timestamps.

On November 15:

  • We’re setting new limits on the sharing of presence data for certain users. For users with presence limited to friends only, the presence API will only return their online status to authenticated friends.

  • Additionally, we will be deprecating the last online endpoint, a timestamp of when a user was last online. We will no longer support this endpoint.

Thank you.

Heads-up: The “last online” endpoint will not stop working immediately, but starting around 9AM PT, Friday, Nov 15, it will begin returning an arbitrary value.

This is a temporary measure to avoid disruptions, but please note that we plan to fully remove this endpoint in the future. We recommend reviewing your code to ensure this change won’t cause unexpected behavior (if you expected it to fail, instead of returning a fake value) and prepare for its eventual removal.

Hi Creators,

As previously announced, parent PINs and the Account Restrictions feature were deprecated on November 18th, 2024 as part of a suite of updates to parental controls and safety protections for our younger users. Following up on that work, we intend to remove all parent PIN and Account Restrictions-related endpoints from the platform in the coming weeks. We kindly advise that you remove any references to and/or usage of the endpoints below.

NOTE: Because these endpoints represent deprecated features, there is no planned work to replace them at this time.

In addition, we are replacing the following endpoints with the User Settings API:

The User Settings API now has the settings whoCanSeeMyInventory, whoCanChatWithMeInApp, and whoCanChatWithMeInExperiences to replace the above. You can access it here:

Sample POST payload:

{
    "whoCanSeeMyInventory": "NoOne"   
}

Hi Creators,

We want to inform the community that we will be deprecating these legacy endpoints, which are receiving nearly 0 traffic.

As an alternative for icon and thumbnail image uploads, you can use the Open Cloud Assets API, please refer to the documentation here.

For adding autogenerated images to your places, the alternative would be to first call Thumbnails API to get the autogenerated image, then upload that using the Open Cloud Assets API mentioned above. The documentation for Thumbnails API is here.

For /universes/removeplace, the alternative exists on Universes API. This is the endpoint that you can call:

You will need to first hit the endpoint by specifying the universeId and placeId in the path, along with your ROBLOSECURITY cookie as a header. The first request will return a 403 error with the message “XSRF token invalid”. The response will contain a header titled “x-csrf-token” which will contain the token that you will need. Send the request again, this time adding an additional header titled “x-csrf-token” with the token value from the initial failed request. Your final request should look like this, and a 200 OK response should indicate that your request was successful.

curl --location --request POST 
'https://apis.roblox.com/universes/v1/universes/{universeId}/places/{placeId}/remove-place' \
--header 'x-csrf-token: <token>' \
--header 'Cookie: .ROBLOSECURITY=<your key>

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

Hello, we would like to provide an update on our previous post for announcing the deprecation of a few legacy endpoints.

We have decided to re-enable the GET https://www.roblox.com/places/api-get-details endpoint.; however, the response will be stripped of all fields except for AssetId and VisitedCount.

For the fields that are being removed from the places/api-get-details endpoint, here are alternate endpoints where you will be able to access those same fields.

For these fields:
Name, Description, Builder, BuilderId, Price

You can call the GET /v1/games/multiget-place-details endpoint on https://games.roblox.com. Here is a link to the documentation. An example request URL would look like this:

curl --location --request GET 'https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/multiget-place-details?placeIds=123&placeIds=456' \
--header 'Cookie: .ROBLOSECURITY=<your key>'

For the MaxPlayers field, you can call the GET /v2/places/{placeId} endpoint on https://develop.roblox.com. Here is a link to the public documentation. An example request URL would look like this:

curl --location --request GET 'https://develop.roblox.com/v2/places/{placeId} \
--header 'Cookie: .ROBLOSECURITY=<your key>'

And an example response would look like this:

{
“maxPlayerCount”: 6,
“socialSlotType”: “Automatic”,
“customSocialSlotsCount”: 2,
“allowCopying”: true,
“currentSavedVersion”: 1,
“isAllGenresAllowed”: true,
“maxPlayersAllowed”: 200,
“created”: “0001-01-01T00:00:00”,
“updated”: “0001-01-01T00:00:00”,
“id”: PlaceId,
“universeId”: UniverseId,
“name”: “Name”,
“description”: “Description”,
“isRootPlace”: true
}

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
