The Roblox API Reference project aims to provide a quick and accessible reference for the Roblox Lua API.
This site is generated by the rbxapiref
tool, the source of
which is available on GitHub. The
rbxapiref
tool parses the machine-generated "API dumps"
from each version of Roblox, and presents the derived information as a
human-readable website. An API dump is a file containing data about the
elements of the API, including classes, members, enums, types, and more.
Hand-written, supplementary documentation may be found in generated pages, derived from the robloxapi/doc repository. The documentation status page shows the progress for documentation across the site.
This project is an alternative to the Roblox Developer Hub API Reference Manual. The DevHub provides official, canonical, up-to-date documentation for the Roblox Lua API.
This site is hosted statically on GitHub Pages.
If you find a bug, have a suggestion, or otherwise wish to contribute, you may post an issue or make a pull request on the issues page.
