Roblox Games & Catalog Scraper

Scrape Roblox experiences and catalog items without an API key. Search games by keyword, pull live concurrent player counts, lifetime visits, favorites, up/down votes, like ratio, genres, creator info and 512x512 icons — or switch to catalog mode and export avatar-shop items with prices, creators and favorite counts.

Everything comes from Roblox's own public web APIs. No login, no cookies, no developer key, no Roblox Open Cloud subscription.

What you get

Mode	What it does
games	Keyword search across Roblox experiences (obby, tycoon, simulator, ...) enriched with universe details, votes and icons
universes	Skip search and scrape a list of universe IDs you already have
catalog	Search the avatar shop by category (+ optional keyword) and resolve full item details

Use cases

• Game market research — see which experience genres actually hold concurrent players, and how visits translate into like ratios.
• UGC economy analysis — track catalog prices, creators and favorite counts across accessory, clothing and collectible categories.
• Creator discovery — find the studios and groups behind the fastest-growing experiences, including verified-badge status.
• Trend tracking — schedule daily runs and build a time series of playing, visits and up_votes per universe.

One item per row — export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, or pull it straight from the Apify API.

Pricing

Roughly $0.5 per 1,000 items on Apify's pay-per-event style compute. Bulk endpoints are used wherever Roblox offers them (up to 100 universes per request for details, votes and icons), so a 1,000-game run costs only a handful of requests per hundred rows.

How it works

1. apis.roblox.com/search-api/omni-search resolves keywords into universe IDs (paged).
2. games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds= returns bulk universe details (100 per call).
3. games.roblox.com/v1/games/votes?universeIds= and thumbnails.roblox.com/v1/games/icons are joined back onto each universe ID.
4. In catalog mode, catalog.roblox.com/v1/search/items returns IDs only, so the actor performs the mandatory second step against catalog.roblox.com/v1/catalog/items/details — including Roblox's x-csrf-token handshake.

Requests are throttled with a short delay and browser-like TLS fingerprinting so the public endpoints stay reachable.
