How would I get the UserID by Name using API?

[VSCPlays]

1. What do you want to achieve? I am making a extension which automatically updates everyone’s profile picture in the devforums to improve my javascript skills

2. What is the issue? I don’t seem to find the API for that

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I searched it up in google the devforums but nothing came

-- this is something I want for javascript, not lua

Ok so basically, I am making a extension to automatically change everyone’s profile picture, but I don’t know the API for that

game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync("name not case sensitive")

sorry but it’s outside of roblox

maybe this can help?

Get ID by username (Roblox)

if it isn’t js you can probably still use the same api link

Endpoint: https://users.roblox.com/v1/usernames/users
Code example:

const axios = require('axios');
async function getId(name){
    try {
    const response = await axios.post(`https://users.roblox.com/v1/usernames/users`, {
        "usernames": [name],
        "excludeBannedUsers": true
    })
    const data = response.data.data[0];
    return data.id
    }
    catch(err){return}
}
async function main(){
    console.log(await getId("3YbuKtOp"))
}
main()
