Place ID to Universe ID

Paste a game link from roblox.com, or a bare place ID, and get the universe ID that the Roblox APIs actually want.

What is the difference between a place ID and a universe ID?

A universe (also called an experience or game) is the container you see in the Creator Dashboard. It contains one or more places: the start place plus any other places you teleport between. The number in a roblox.com/games/… URL is the start place's ID. Most Roblox web APIs (games, votes, thumbnails, badges, game passes, Open Cloud) take the universe ID instead.

How do I find the universe ID without this tool?

In Roblox Studio it is game.GameId (game.PlaceId is the place). On the web, call https://apis.roblox.com/universes/v1/places/{placeId}/universe. In the Creator Dashboard, the Universe ID is shown on the experience overview page.

Can I do this programmatically?

Yes: GET /api/v1/places/{placeId} on this site returns the universe ID as JSON, with CORS enabled and a 24-hour cache. Or call Roblox directly at apis.roblox.com/universes/v1/places/{placeId}/universe.

Once you have the universe ID, you can pull live stats from the public API or embed a stat badge.
