Does anyone remember how to convert Scratcher ID to Username?

lgrov44

I used to have a link that acts like the Scratch API but had a feature that converts some Scratcher IDs to usernames, but has recently (not sure how recently) broke and now am searching for a new way to convert Scratcher ID to Username.
EDIT 1: @juniorb-ballstar111 has ID 15680062 (thanks to @dzje, still don't know his methods though.)
EDIT 2: I forgot to mention, should be able to convert most IDs. I do have a link for a lot but not most..
(Thank you and sorry @mybearworld)

Yeah, it’s your id. To get it is to get the link of your profile picture, then you’ll find it at the end of the link

Yes. It is an ID every profile has. It shows the order of which accounts (or profiles) were made. For example, my ID is 98963682 as I am the 98963682nd scratcher.

I do not see any ID at the end of the link but that might just be me

You need to copy the link of the image from a right click. Then you can see it. My id is 69511851.

Try going to your profile, right-clicking your pfp, and then click copy image address. Then paste it, and the numbers after /user/ are your user ID.

You can get your user id a number of ways. You can use the API and get a user id like so: https://api.scratch.mit.edu/users/–irrelevant <— replacing this username with any username, your user id is 123418488.

Or you can right click any user's profile picture, click “open image in new tab” and the underlined part of the link will be your user id: https://uploads.scratch.mit.edu/ge_image/user/123418488_90x90.png

Alternatively, you can use inspect element or copy link address on the image to get the link above.

Only partially, because it tells you how you can use the user id, but not where, as using a user id like this: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/123418488 does not work.

You might be talking about SUI. That has went down, but recently it went up again: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/7891753/
It doesn't know the user with the ID 15680062, though.

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

I think my post got deleted halfway through and I was going to say that, that I don't think the account exists anymore and was deleted, because not only that just doesn't find it, the profile picture trick thing only shows the default profile picture.

The account with that user id is a GDPR account as such is why it doesn't work.

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.

No, not really. It mainly talks about an outdated API feature or Username to ID.

No, it is one more than the GDPR'S account's ID. Close though.

Scratch doesn't provide a built-in way to get from a user ID to a username, so any service that provides that will have to scrape users. SUI is definitely the biggest service that does that.
(ScratchDB also exists, but it doesn't allow going from user ID to a username.)

Seems like my question was answered (for now, it might change years in the future), so I'll close this topic for now. Thank you everyone else for your answers too.
