Roblox Engine API (Luau)

The Roblox Engine API is the in-engine scripting surface used inside experiences and Studio plugins. It is written in Luau, Roblox's typed dialect of Lua 5.1, and exposes thousands of classes including Workspace, Players, Workspace, ReplicatedStorage, ServerScriptService, DataStoreService, MessagingService, HttpService, UserInputService, RemoteEvent, and the entire 3D scene graph. This API runs inside the Roblox runtime, not as a REST surface.

Roblox Engine API (Luau) is one of 8 APIs that Roblox publishes on the APIs.io network.

Tagged areas include Engine, Luau, Scripting, and SDK. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.
