Creator Third Party App Policy

Scope Access

Scope Requests

All creators and third party developers and platforms are expected to only request the minimal amount of data access as needed to provide your service and function:

Roblox Review and Enforcement

We review API access requests and may make appropriate changes to your app’s access to data or enforce specific rate limits to ensure that we maintain a trusted, secure, private, useful, and safe platform. These adjustments are to ensure that third party platforms and applications do not request or utilize more data than necessary or abuse our APIs in any way.
