Getting the owner of a place
Is there a way to get name of the owner of a place given the place? (MarketplaceService and AssetService return nil or Not Found.)

They should not return nil or Not Found - if they do you are doing something wrong. jobro13 980 — 10y

Yes, via a method I consider quite hackish:
local market = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local placeid = 137913728 -- same id
local ProductInfo = market:GetProductInfo(placeid)
if ProductInfo then
print(ProductInfo.Creator.Name)
end
Also worth nothing: ProductInfo.Creator.Id returns the user id of that name.
You can use this on any place - also places which is not the running place. Just fill in the place id.

This isn't hackish at all... you're getting the info on an asset. How is that hackish? TheLuaWeaver 301 — 10y

I disagree. Marketplace service is intended to be used on catalog items, not places. I consider that hackish. jobro13 980 — 10y
