SearchDestinyPlayer: UserCannotResolveCentralAccount

[rentalhost]

Hello!

I am using the SearchDestinyPlayer endpoint, but I cannot search the player SearchDestinyPlayer. It just returns that:

{
    "ErrorCode": 217,
    "ThrottleSeconds": 0,
    "ErrorStatus": "UserCannotResolveCentralAccount",
    "Message": "We couldn't find the account you're looking for. The account may not exist, or we may be experiencing technical difficulties.",
    "MessageData": {}
}

Even for raid.report, for instance, it does not works:

The user itself does exists: https://www.bungie.net/7/pt-br/User/Profile/254/23186503/NimbleGuts

I can found this same user via GetBungieNetUserById endpoint:

{
    "Response": {
        "membershipId": "23186503",
        "uniqueName": "NimbleGuts#9149",
        "displayName": "NimbleGuts",
        "profilePicture": 0,
        "profileTheme": 0,
        "userTitle": 0,
        "successMessageFlags": "0",
        "isDeleted": false,
        "about": "",
        "firstAccess": "2019-10-15T01:32:01.811Z",
        "lastUpdate": "2019-11-28T21:10:27.673Z",
        "showActivity": true,
        "locale": "en",
        "localeInheritDefault": false,
        "showGroupMessaging": true,
        "profilePicturePath": "/img/profile/avatars/default_avatar.gif",
        "profileThemeName": "d2cover",
        "userTitleDisplay": "Newbie",
        "statusText": "",
        "statusDate": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
        "blizzardDisplayName": "AzulaBoy",
        "steamDisplayName": "NimbleGuts",
        "cachedBungieGlobalDisplayName": "NimbleGuts",
        "cachedBungieGlobalDisplayNameCode": 9149
    },
    "ErrorCode": 1,
    "ThrottleSeconds": 0,
    "ErrorStatus": "Success",
    "Message": "Ok",
    "MessageData": {}
}

But it doesn't returns the membershipId.

Via GroupV2/4038658/Members I could found the membershipId, but is too hacky and depends of the member have a clan.

           {
                "memberType": 2,
                "isOnline": false,

                "destinyUserInfo": {

                    "LastSeenDisplayNameType": 3,
                    "iconPath": "/img/theme/bungienet/icons/steamLogo.png",
                    "crossSaveOverride": 0,
                    "applicableMembershipTypes": [
                        3
                    ],
                    "isPublic": false,
                    "membershipType": 3,

                    "bungieGlobalDisplayNameCode": 9149
                },
                "bungieNetUserInfo": {
                    "supplementalDisplayName": "NimbleGuts#9149",
                    "iconPath": "/img/profile/avatars/default_avatar.gif",

                    "bungieGlobalDisplayNameCode": 9149
                },

            }

What key arguments are you passing to each of these endpoints? Like, what exact string are you searching for "by name", etc.

There are many accounts that have this issue (returning ErrorCode 217 on SearchDestinyPlayer call with their Bungie Name):

Here's a sample:

https://www.bungie.net/Platform/Destiny2/SearchDestinyPlayer/-1/Taako%234051/ https://www.bungie.net/Platform/Destiny2/SearchDestinyPlayer/-1/Marvel%232488/ https://www.bungie.net/Platform/Destiny2/SearchDestinyPlayer/-1/Dewski%230261/

Also, note that none of these accounts are returned by the newer User Search api when you remove their Bungie Name Code: https://www.bungie.net/Platform/User/Search/Prefix/Taako/0/ https://www.bungie.net/Platform/User/Search/Prefix/Marvel/0/ https://www.bungie.net/Platform/User/Search/Prefix/Dewski/0/

I wonder - could these be because they're Steam accounts with cross-save off? Searching for a friend of mine results in the same issue. Could also be that they were Blizzard/Battle.net accounts, that migrated to Steam, and have cross-save off, as is the case with said friend of mine.

Friend is prism#9661, BNet member ID 17829352

[Cytraen]

Adding an Xbox account and enabling cross-save fixed the issue, for my friend's account at least.

Any update on this issue? I'm getting a lot of questions about users that can't find their Guardian due to this issue. Thanks!
