Plugin not loading in correct game icons?

Working on a game organizer plugin right now. It loads in your 50 most recent games using an API.

However, I am finding that some of the game icons aren’t correctly loaded:

Being the creator of each game, I can confirm that I did not make those icons marshmellow head or mickey mouse overalls. Also, most of the icons are just white. Any idea why? Here’s my code to get the icons:
gameIcon.Image = "https://assetgame.roblox.com/Game/Tools/ThumbnailAsset.ashx?aid="..experience.id.."&fmt=png&wd=420&ht=420"

(experience is an object from a for loop that loops through the endpoint. The endpoint does work because it loads in the game’s names just fine.)

Is there a better way to get a game’s icon from its ID or is there something I need to fix? Thanks.

Edit: Most of these seem to be clothing and t-shirts:

You will need to get the Experience UniverseId using ProxyService

local ProxyService = require(-- Path To Module)
local Proxy = local Proxy = ProxyService:New(Arg1, Arg2) -- Change arguments to your heroku thing

local UniverseId = game.HttpService:JSONDecode(Proxy:Get('https://api.roblox.com/universes/get-universe-containing-place?placeid='..PlaceId).body)
gameIcon.Image = "rbxthumb://type=GameIcon&id="..UniverseId["UniverseId"].."&w=512&h=512"

ProxyService takes too long to set up I am using a different one already. However I will try to modify your code to match my case

Try getting UniverseId with your proxy

I don’t see anything called “UniverseId”

#6

What’s the difference between game ID, place ID, and universe ID?

Use your proxy for this API

local UniverseId = game.HttpService:JSONDecode(Proxy:Get('https://api.roblox.com/universes/get-universe-containing-place?placeid='..PlaceId).body)
gameIcon.Image = "rbxthumb://type=GameIcon&id="..UniverseId["UniverseId"].."&w=512&h=512"

Honestly i don’t know but you cant get UniverseId without a proxy

What is that?

I fixed it by getting the rootPlace’s ID rather than the game’s ID.

Using Roblox's API to get the Icon from a game

The UniverseId variable returns a table
https://api.roblox.com/universes/get-universe-containing-place?placeid=6493464871
This link returns this UniverseId:

Yes, that is the icon of each game.

For example, here are some of my games with custom icons. Loading in fine.

#15

Use the RbxThumb contentId format, specifically purposed for easy thumbnail loading.

image.Image = rbxthumb://type=GameIcon&id={Experience/UniverseIdHere}&w=150&h=150

The topic has already been solved, no need to reply any more.

Is it more efficient? I mean if it ain’t broke don’t fix it…
