Closed Xferno2 closed 5 years ago

Xferno2 commented 5 years ago

I did a /get_beatmaps/ request on this map https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/466254#osu/1147263 with those parameters https://osu.ppy.sh/api/get_beatmaps?k=MYAPIKEY&b=1147263

The response was the following:

The response states that the creator is Itasha_S13 but on the website his/her name is ItashaS13 with no underscore. User

Maybe interesting/relevant to note that the old website lists his past username as "Itasha_S13", but the new site lists his past username as "Samuel7331".

This is actually correct (well, intended). The creator name at the point of creating the beatmap is stored in the beatmap's metadata, and the API reflects this. If you want to get the most recent username, please use creator_id to look it up in a second request.
