About roblox-oauth
An OAuth 2.0 reference skill for developers integrating with Roblox Open Cloud, covering app registration, PKCE authorization, token lifecycle, scopes, and error debugging. It distinguishes requirements for public and confidential clients and outlines secure handling practices.
Key features
- 01Authorization code and PKCE flow selection
- 02Authorization code and token exchange guidance
- 03Access token refresh and revocation
- 04Least-privilege scope selection
- 05Identity and token validation endpoints
- 06OAuth troubleshooting guidance
Use cases
- 01Configuring authorization for a Roblox Open Cloud app
- 02Implementing PKCE for a public client
- 03Managing token refresh, replacement, and revocation
- 04Investigating scope or OAuth token issues

When to Load
Load this skill when the task centers on Roblox OAuth 2.0 delegated authorization for Open Cloud — app registration, authorization code flow with PKCE, token exchange/refresh/revocation, scope selection, or OAuth-specific error debugging. Skip it for API-key automation, in-experience scripting, or general Open Cloud endpoint work (use roblox-cloud instead).
Quick Reference
Flow Selection
- Auth Code + PKCE — required for public clients (browser/mobile), recommended for all.
- Confidential — backend holds
client_secret; never expose in frontend code. - Public — no secret; PKCE mandatory.
PKCE Essentials
- Generate
code_verifier(43–128 char random) +code_challenge(SHA-256, base64url). - Send
code_challenge+code_challenge_method=S256in authorize; sendcode_verifierin token exchange. - One verifier per authorization attempt.
Authorization URL
GET https://apis.roblox.com/oauth/v1/authorize
Params: client_id, redirect_uri, scope, response_type=code, code_challenge, code_challenge_method=S256, state, optional nonce.
Token Exchange
POST /oauth/v1/token — application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Params: grant_type=authorization_code, code, client_id, code_verifier (public) or client_secret (confidential).
Token Lifecycle
- Auth code — seconds, single-use; exchange immediately.
- Access token — ~15 min; use as Bearer.
- Refresh token — ~90 days; single-use per refresh. Replace stored token atomically after each refresh.
- Revoke:
POST /oauth/v1/token/revokeon disconnect.
Scope Selection
- Minimum scopes matching actual endpoint needs.
openid→ ID token;profileonly if profile claims needed.- Medium/high/critical risk = least-privilege review signal.
- Changing scopes requires reauthorization.
Validation Endpoints
GET /oauth/v1/userinfo— identity claims.POST /oauth/v1/token/introspect— token activity (not resource auth).POST /oauth/v1/token/resources— resource-level access.
Key Rules
- Verify
statebefore using returned code. - Refresh tokens: server-side only.
- PKCE even for confidential clients.
- Don't mix API keys and OAuth.
