What API can I use to remove an Experience's Icon?

Hello,

In this announcement post, it was announced that the API previously used to remove an Experience’s icon (POST https://www.roblox.com/places/icons/remove-icon) is being deprecated. The announcement post does not include a description for which API will replace it.

Thanks

Hello @M0RGOTH and @Noble_Draconian apologies for the delayed response.

To remove an icon for an experience, you can call the Update Asset endpoint on the assets upload API. The path is like this: PATCH /v1/assets/{assetId}. Here is a link to the documentation for the API.

To remove the icon for an experience, pass in the placeId of its root place as the assetId. You can also pass the placeId of non-root places to remove the icon for a non-root place.

Remember to include the icon updateMask. An example request would look like this:

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://apis.roblox.com/assets/v1/assets/{assetId}?updateMask=icon' \
--header 'x-api-key: {apiKey}' \
--form 'request="{ 
    \"assetId\": \"{assetId}\",  
    \"icon\": \"\"
  }"'

To remove the icon, the icon that you pass in will be blank.

Let me know if this works, or if there are any questions or concerns. Thanks.
