Endpoint for Username Alias History #80

Closed SwiftCODA closed 3 years ago

I notice on Tracker Network that they show past usernames associated with each profile id. Do you know of any endpoints where I could retrieve that information?

Seems2Legit commented 3 years ago

As far as I'm aware no endpoint provides past usernames. You need to collect/cache user-profiles and save someones old username once it has been changed. This although requires (to work precisely) many requests in order to catch name changes from a large userbase.

I'd suggest that you use a third-party API like e.g. https://developers.statsdb.net/

It's not open-source/selfhosted but I'm not aware of a better alternative.

I'm using their API for a leaderboard at the moment. Thanks anyways.
