local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local getAsync = http.GetAsync
local jsonDecode = http.JSONDecode
local usernamesUrl = "https://users.roproxy.com/v1/users/%s/username-history?limit=10&sortOrder=Asc"

local function getFirstUsername(userId, retries)
	retries = retries or 0
	if retries >= 3 then return end
	
	local requestUrl = usernamesUrl:format(userId)
	local success, result = pcall(getAsync, http, requestUrl)
	if success then
		if result then
			local success2, result2 = pcall(jsonDecode, http, result)
			if success2 then
				if result2 then
					return result2.data[1].name
				end
			else
				warn(result2)
				retries += 1
				getFirstUsername(userId, retries)
			end
		end
	else
		warn(result)
		retries += 1
		getFirstUsername(userId, retries)
	end
end

local firstUsername = getFirstUsername(19688759)
print(firstUsername)

Here’s a quick script I wrote for this. There’s a maximum retries parameter which stops issuing requests after three unsuccessful attempts.
