With Open Cloud, you can access Roblox resources through standard REST APIs, which lets you build everything from command line automation tools to complex web apps. The Open Cloud APIs support HTTPS and use API keys or OAuth 2.0 for authentication. You can update experiences, restart servers, work with your data stores and memory stores, manage user restrictions, list inventory items, and much, much more.
About the APIs
Roblox has four categories of HTTP REST API:
- Open Cloud v2
- Open Cloud v1
Whenever possible, use the Open Cloud v2 API. This API has the strongest stability guarantees and regularly adds new resources. The Open Cloud v1 API also has strong stability guarantees, but a more limited set of resources.
The legacy APIs, no matter which types of authentication they support, can incorporate breaking changes without notice and have minimal stability guarantees. They are not part of the Open Cloud v2 or v1 APIs, and we don't recommend them for production applications.
Roblox also offers webhooks, which can notify your applications when certain events occur, such as refunds or changes to subscriptions.
Get started with Open Cloud
Test API calls using tools like Postman with OpenAPI descriptions or the OAuth 2.0 sample app.
