Roblox Open Cloud

The Roblox Open Cloud API is an offical Roblox API that allows third-party services, such as bloxadmin, to interact with Roblox and perform actions on a user's behalf.

bloxadmin uses API keys provided by Roblox for a more stable way to send messages to your Roblox games and improve security. In addition, bloxadmin uses the keys for other optional functionality such as the datastore viewer. As Roblox creates more APIs under Open Cloud, bloxadmin will be right there behind them to use it to give you more features.
