I'm working on a project,
What would be the best way to convert a roblox UserID to a roblox Username? (Not in roblox, I'm using PHP, so I would get a page on roblox's site)
Does anyone know of a roblox page specially made for it? Or will I have to get their entire profile page? |

Mustyoshi wanted this the other way around. Just try finding a snippet of the coding in the profile's page that is universal except for the name. Should work with some string manipulating..

Yeah.
I just wish there was a specialised URL, roblox's site pages take forever to load, and doing it 1,263 times won't be fast. |

Oooo yeah... That sucks. I'm sure there's a place where the ID's are kept with the usernames on one page. But I'm sure accessing it would require h4x.

@aboy
It's called a database, and yes it would require 'hax' to get into it.

Load their profile page and use getElementById.innerHTML to get their name. |

HEAD /User.aspx?username=name
And read the Location header |

@gz
That would work great for username to userid, but I'm trying to do it the other way around. |

I wrote this a while back:
local function getname(id)
return game:GetService"InsertService":GetUserSets(id)[1].CreatorName
end |

The names aren't moderated however, so be aware of that. |

If you want a URI however:
/Game/Tools/InsertAsset.ashx?nsets=20&type=user&userid=%d
Then just look for the name in CreatorName%s |
