Roblox API Reference

About

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.
