- **Free** if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

## Parameters

```

## Recorded response

A real Roblox response, recorded and returned in Onekey's shape. Fields the platform does not provide are `null`.

```json

  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "author": {
      "id": "1",
      "username": "Roblox",
      "displayName": "Roblox",
      "verified": true
    },
    "content": {

## 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | `author.id` | `toString` |
| `name` | `author.username` | - |
| `displayName` | `author.displayName` | - |
| `description` | `content.text` | - |
| `created` | `content.createdAt` | `toIsoDate` |
| `hasVerifiedBadge` | `author.verified` | `toBoolean` |

## 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.

Status: stable (verified against the live source).
