Roblox Engine API

Roblox provides a suite of developer APIs for building experiences on the Roblox platform. The Engine API documents all classes, data types, enumerations, functions, events, callbacks, and properties for in-experience scripting in Luau. The Open Cloud REST API provides external programmatic access to Roblox platform resources including experiences, places, data stores, users, groups, assets, messaging, and more. In March 2026 Roblox launched new unified Open Cloud reference documentation.

Roblox Engine API publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Data Stores API, Groups API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Gaming, Game Development, Metaverse, Roblox, and Open Cloud.

The Roblox Engine API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Roblox Engine API’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 12 more developer resources.
