How We Verify Every ID
The Working badge is the whole point of this site. Here is exactly how it works — no magic, just relentless checking.
The problem we're solving
Since Roblox's 2022 audio-privacy change, most music-code lists on the internet are largely dead — uploads get deleted, moderated or made private, and static lists never notice. Sites listing “5,000 working codes” typically haven't checked them in years. We built rblxdb around one rule: never show an ID we haven't recently checked.
The method
- The source of truth — every audio ID is checked against Roblox's own economy API. An audio asset is playable by everyone only when Roblox marks it public-domain; that flag, not guesswork, decides the badge.
- Rolling re-checks, around the clock — an automated job re-verifies IDs continuously, oldest-checked first, so every published song cycles through verification perpetually.
- Two strikes before “Not Working” — Roblox's APIs occasionally return transient wrong answers, so one failed check never flips a badge. Two consecutive failures do.
- Reports jump the queue — every song page has a “Not working? Report it” button. Reported IDs are re-checked within the hour, ahead of everything else.
- Timestamps are public — every song page and every API response carries
verifiedAt, the exact time of the last check, and status-change history where we have it. You never have to take our word for it.
What we don't claim
Promo codes and star codes can't be machine-verified (redeeming requires a real account), so those lists are editorially cross-checked against multiple independent sources and stamped with the check date instead. Game codes are re-checked automatically against each game's own published codes, with an editorial layer for games that announce codes on social media. Where something can't be verified, we say so rather than badge it.
Use the data
The verification results are free to build on: the rblxdb API serves every ID with its isWorking flag and timestamp — no key required. If you run a site or tool that lists Roblox codes, cite or consume the feed instead of testing manually. Questions about the methodology: ads@rblxdb.com.
