Way to get UserInfoByUsername?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to get user information through the username. I am making a game where you can enter a players username and it will show the information of the player. (ID, Display Name, Username, Profile)

I know you can use UserService to get the username, display name, and the ID with UserService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync()
But I am trying to find a way to get players information with the username, not ID and I havent found anything online.

Thanks!

Do you need the Id or the Name? If you need the id by the Name you can use game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Player.Name); this method errors if no account exists with the given username. If you aren’t certain such an account exists, it’s recommended to wrap calls to this function with a pcall.

Yes, i believe thats how it works, but do you mean?

game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync()?

Dependinding on what they need for that reason I specified:), and good night! to all.

Hi!

so um, i made this script, and it seems to get the Players Name and UserId just fine.

Use a TextBox and put this code in a LocalScript and Parent it to the TextBox.

script.Parent.InputEnded:Connect(function()
local Success, Errors =  pcall(function()

	local AB = script.Parent.Text
	if AB then
		local A = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(AB) or nil
			local B = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(A)
			
		if A ~= nil then
				print("Player Found: "..B)
				print("UserId: "..A)
				
		else
			print("Not A Player")
		end
	end
	end)
if Success then
	print("Finished")
else
	warn("Failed to Grab Player Stats:  "..Errors)
end	
end)

local userService = game:GetService("UserService")

local name = "Searched Player"
	
local userId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(name)
	
userService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({userId})

I checked the code:

Got this as a result:

23:20:51.339  {}  -  Client - B:35
 23:20:51.646  {}  -  Client - B:35

Its at line 35 cus i covered the other code with a comment

#8

Yeah you didnt printed the Result, wait

#9

can you specify? ive been checking the code and getting the same result. Doesnt seem to work

this is the code i tried for the Textbox, Its modified so it doesnt print blank:

script.Parent.InputEnded:Connect(function()
local US = game:GetService("UserService")

	local Text = script.Parent.Text
	if Text then
local UserId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Text)
if UserId ~= nil then
			local data = US:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({UserId})
			if UserId ~= nil and not "{}" then
wait(5)
				print(data)
			end
		end
		end
	end)

the code checks the text the player has entered and see’s if its a Players Name
(im not the OP)

#10 
local userService = game:GetService("UserService")

local name = "Your Name"

local userId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(name)

local successOrNot, result = pcall(function()
	return userService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({userId})
end)

if successOrNot == true then
	for user, userInfos in ipairs(result) do
		print("Your UserId = "..userInfos.Id)
		print("Your Username = "..userInfos.Username)
		print("Your DisplayName = "..userInfos.DisplayName)
	end
end

or if you want to use PlayerAdded:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local userService = game:GetService("UserService")

local successOrNot, result = pcall(function()
	return userService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync({player.UserId})
end)

if successOrNot == true then
	for user, userInfos in ipairs(result) do
		print("Your UserId = "..userInfos.Id)
		print("Your Username = "..userInfos.Username)
		print("Your DisplayName = "..userInfos.DisplayName)
	end
end

end)

No problem, did it worked also for u?

#13

No Response from the Script or Output.

#14

The Script Works, but however there is one flaw, the script doesnt check moderated users.

This Script seems better at doing that.

#15

What do u mean with moderated Users

#16

When you look up a user who is banned or terminated, you dont get a result, however with my script, you do get results, The Full Username and UserId

Small Example:


the script aint perfect but it gets the job done, ill see what i can do for DisplayName
Edit: some of these users arent terminated but you get the point.

make sure code is in StarterGui to run.
Script Code rn:

script.Parent.InputEnded:Connect(function()
local Success, Result =  pcall(function()

	local AB = script.Parent.Text
	if AB then
		local A = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(AB) or nil
			local B = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(A)
			local T = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(A, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
			local T2 = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(A, Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarThumbnail, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
			
		if A ~= nil then
				print("Player Found: "..B)
				print("UserId: "..A)
				script.Parent.Parent.FullName.Text = B
				script.Parent.Parent.UserId.Text = A
				script.Parent.Parent.Image.Image = T
				script.Parent.Parent.Image2.Image = T2
				workspace.Audio.UI.Award:Play() -- Not Important, just a sound i added.
				
		else
			warn("Found nil")
		end
	end
	end)
if Success then
		print("Finished")
		
else
	warn("Failed to Grab Player Stats:  "..Result)
end	
end)

ill update it.

If you want the display name (and various other information) you must use UserService and the function GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync.

#18

You mean UserService; ProfileService is an open source module

Sure, and sorry I’m from my cellphone answering.

#20

I did that, it works but the only issue i found is that you cant look find moderated users.
