```json

  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "entity": {
      "id": "13058",
      "name": "Crossroads",
      "description": "The classic Roblox level is back! Crossroads is Roblox's very first multiplayer game. It is a classic brick battle game with a destructible environment. All great warriors find themselves here.\n\n\"I joined the Roblox team just as they were rolling out the first multiplayer Roblox level - a very early version of Crossroads. This version featured a castle made by Erik and a white house and playground constructed by Builderman. There were two weapons: the slingshot and the rocket launcher. I remember the first time we noticed a user, “dergenx”, actually playing our game, everyone on the team got on and played with him for an hour. It was very exciting. Since the original Crossroads was published, it has been added onto many times as we push the state of the art forward.\" ~ Shedletsky, December 11th, 2006 \"Now We are 10,000\" - Celebrating the 10,000th Roblox user.",

## Field mapping

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's [unified schema](https://onekey.dev/docs/schema.md). Fields the source lacks come back as `null`.

| Source path | Onekey field | Transform |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `data.0.id` | `entity.id` | `toString` |
| `data.0.name` | `entity.name` | - |
| `data.0.description` | `entity.description` | - |
| `data.0.creator.name` | `author.username` | - |
| `data.0.creator.id` | `author.id` | `toString` |
| `data.0.playing` | `ext.playing` | `toNumber` |
| `data.0.visits` | `ext.visits` | `toNumber` |
| `data.0.favoritedCount` | `entity.stats.favorites` | `toNumber` |
| `data.0.maxPlayers` | `ext.maxPlayers` | `toNumber` |
| `data.0.genre` | `entity.category` | - |
| `data.0.created` | `content.createdAt` | `toIsoDate` |
| `data.0.updated` | `entity.updatedAt` | `toIsoDate` |
| `data.0.rootPlaceId` | `ext.rootPlaceId` | `toString` |

## Caching and freshness

- Fresh for about 30 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
- Between 30 minutes and 6 hours the cached copy is still served instantly and marked `stale: true` while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
- If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
- A "not found" is remembered for 5 minutes and is free.
- The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

## What can go wrong

| Status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Check the `x-api-key` header. |
| 402 | `insufficient_credits` | [Add credits](https://onekey.dev/pricing); your balance must cover the price. |
| 404 | `not_found` | That record does not exist. Free; do not retry. |
| 422 | `invalid_params` | Fix the parameters using the table above. Free. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 502 | `upstream_error` | The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff. |

See [Errors](https://onekey.dev/docs/errors.md) for the full list and retry guidance.
