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.
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.
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.
This endpoint contained an aggregate of information from various sources and does not have a direct equivalent to a new API endpoint. Please use the official API(s) corresponding to your use case instead.
We are planning to remove the following API endpoint on August 27, 2024. If you are using this endpoint please switch to the newer endpoints as recommended below:
Old API: https://www.roblox.com/mobileapi/userinfo
Returns UserID, UserName, RobuxBalance, ThumbnailUrl, IsPremium given the user is authenticated
This endpoint provided information about the badges owned by a particular Roblox user(or the authenticated user). You can instead use the following Badges API method to retrieve this information.
We are deprecating the delete from inventory endpoint on September 20th, 2024. It allows users to remove assets from their inventory. It has been moved to a new endpoint.
We will be deprecating the following public API endpoints starting October 7. These APIs have not seen traffic recently and they are replaced with newer endpoints as mentioned below.
We are deprecating the profile playerassets endpoint on November 1st, 2024. It fetches showcased assets created by a user. It has been moved to a new endpoint.
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.
We are deprecating the check app version endpoint on November 1st, 2024. It queries if the given mobile app version has an upgrade available. It has been moved to a new endpoint with the same functionality.
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.
We are deprecating the roblox.com/catalog/json endpoint on November 18th, 2024. This was used to search for catalog items for avatar marketplace, as well as creator store assets for studio developers.
We are deprecating the account-country endpoint on November 15th, 2024. It allows users to get their account country setting. It has been moved to a new endpoint.
Old API:
GET https://www.roblox.com/account/settings/account-country
New API:
GET https://accountsettings.roblox.com/v1/account/settings/account-country
Documentation:
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
We are removing 2 endpoints from www.roblox.com on November 25, 2024. These endpoints are GetMyProfile, and GetProfile. GetMyProfile returned information regarding an authenticated user (Robux, Avatar, Username, UserID), while GetProfile has not been used to return anything in particular.
For GetMyProfile, you can currently retrieve the same information via the multiple endpoints below.
APIs that will be removed:
GET https://www.roblox.com/my/profile
GET https://www.roblox.com/profile
Replacement APIs you can call:
For Username and User ID: (documentation here)

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
We are planning to remove the following API endpoint on December 9, 2024.
If you are using this endpoint to search for Creator Store items, please switch to the newer endpoints as recommended below:
Old API: https://www.roblox.com/Game/Tools/InsertAsset.ashx
New API: See instructions at:
Please let us know by posting a bug report or feature request if you have any feedback!
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.
Heads-up, the endpoint referenced in the reply above will be fully removed in the week of December 2nd. Most of the endpoint’s functionality has already been suspended.
