🔑 API Key Setup

Create your Roblox Open Cloud API key with the right permissions. This key is used by AssetFlow to upload assets to your account or group.

⏱ ~3 minutes•✓ Required for upload
1
Open the Creator Hub

Go to create.roblox.com → Credentials and click Create API Key.

⚠️
Important: Create the key under your user account, not under a group. Roblox has officially deprecated group API keys in favor of user keys.

Select API System: assets

In the "Select API System" field, choose assets. This unlocks the upload permissions.

Required permissions — assets system
asset:readRead / verify existing assets
asset:writeUpload / create new assets
3
Add also: asset-permissions

Add a second API system: asset-permissions. This allows AssetFlow to manage access permissions on uploaded assets.

4
Select Accepted Resources

In the "Accepted Resources" section, choose what the key can act on:

👤
Personal upload only
Select your user account as the resource. No group configuration needed.
👥
Upload to a Group
Select the group(s) in addition to your account. The same key can handle multiple groups.
💡
Tip: Enable the "Restrict by creator" toggle if you want to limit the key to certain group resources only.
5
Paste your key in AssetFlow → Account

Copy your generated key (it starts with rblx-...) and paste it in the app under Account → Open Cloud API Key. The same key works for both personal and group uploads.

✅
Done! Once pasted, AssetFlow will use this key for all uploads. You don't need to create separate keys for each group.
