I wanted to ask if there is a script that allows for users to find a username via a user id with banned players, since I recently received a “Right To Erasure” request from a banned user—I already removed any trace of them from my game, and there was no record of them other than their user id—and I want to figure out their username. All help is appreciated.

If they’ve requested a Right to Erasure from Roblox their profile will 404 itself, so I don’t know that it will still return any data through this API, but you could try using GetNameFromUserIdAsync()

I tried using that and I couldn’t get it to spit out any responses. No error message either.
If it’s returning nil than Roblox has removed that data from their servers per the erasure law. That’s as far as they could expect you to dig to remove any data regarding the banned player since you’ve already removed what you could.
I’m not trying to remove any more data (since I removed it all), I am trying to find out what their username is from their ID.
You might have luck trying to find an archived copy of their profile? You have their ID, though it goes to 404 now, you could try the URL on internet archive.
I’m pretty sure there’s a BindableFunction for this.
What would the function be called?
Yep there’s only one way to do It.
Ah, that’s the only way to do it. How would you do it using that, since I tried many times with it but it never worked.
In this circumstance, there is no way to do what you describe unless you stored their username somewhere beforehand.
Oh. Is there a website or something where I can figure this out as an alternative to a script?
Update: Found a way to do this.
Sorry to bump this topic, but how did you do this?

I made a script for it, which you can find here.
Edit: Be sure to open the script and follow the instructions within. Hope this helps.
