InsertService
InsertService is used to insert assets from the Roblox website, typically the LoadAsset function.
To load an asset, it must be accessible by the creator of the experience loading it, which can be either a user or group. Should an experience be uploaded by a different creator, the asset data would not be accessible. See the LoadAsset() method for more details on this security check. Note that you should not use this service for loading API keys or other secrets. Use HttpService:GetSecret() instead.

CreateMeshPartAsync
Creates a new MeshPart with specified CollisionFidelity and RenderFidelity. Because MeshPart.MeshId is read only, this is the way to create a MeshPart through scripts without having to clone an existing one. It throws errors if creation fails.
Paramètres
Mesh asset ID.

GetFreeDecals
The GetFreeDecals function retrieves a list of free Decals from the Catalog. The return type for this method is very odd, as it returns a single table wrapped in a table.
The best way to explain it is to show a visual of the array returned:
[1] = {CurrentStartIndex = 1, -- This can vary depending on the page you input.TotalCount = 21, -- Always 21.Results = {-- All parameters here are pseudo. They can vary depending on the asset.[1] = {Name = "Asset Name",AssetId = 0000000,AssetVersionId = 0000000,CreatorName = "Roblox",},-- [2], [3], and so on... up to [21]},}
An example for iterating over this list has been provided at the bottom of this page.
Additionally, if you want to insert Models instead, you can use the InsertService:GetFreeModels() function.
Note: The page argument starts at 0. So Page 1 = 0, Page 2 = 1, etc.

The page number in the Catalog to return.

The GetFreeModels function retrieves a list of Free Models from the Catalog. The return type for this method is very odd, as it returns a single table wrapped in a table.

LoadAsset
The LoadAsset function fetches an asset given its ID and returns a Model containing the asset. For example, to load this public Doge Model, which has the asset ID 257489726, you can use:
local assetId = 257489726local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")local model = InsertService:LoadAsset(assetId)model.Parent = workspace
Calls to this function may fail if a server providing a model is having problems. As such, it's generally a good idea to wrap calls to this function in pcall to catch these kinds of errors.
local assetId = 257489726local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")local success, model = pcall(InsertService.LoadAsset, InsertService, assetId)if success and model thenprint("Model loaded successfully")model.Parent = workspaceelseprint("Model failed to load!")end
Security Check
An asset loaded by this function must be created or owned by either the game creator or Roblox. Additionally, benign asset types such as t-shirts, shirts, pants and avatar accessories are loadable from any game as they are public.
