Endpoint GetMembershipIdByDisplayName not working on some names

I need help discerning if I have found a bug in the API or if I need to use a different approach for getting the member IDs for some display names. The following endpoint is used to get a membership ID based on someone's display name and it works with some display names but not all: https://www.bungie.net/Platform/Destiny/1/Stats/GetMembershipIdByDisplayName/['displayName']/ (This endpoint is setup for xbox but you can use it for PS names by changing the 1 to a 2) The full response for a name that [i]doesn't[/i] work is: [quote]{"Response":"0","ErrorCode":217,"ThrottleSeconds":0,"ErrorStatus":"UserCannotResolveCentralAccount",[b]"Message":"We've encountered an error, please try again later."[/b],"MessageData":{}}[/quote] The full response for a name (my own is used here) that [i]does [/i]work is: [quote]{"Response":"4611686018434033119","ErrorCode":1,"ThrottleSeconds":0,"ErrorStatus":"Success","Message":"Ok","MessageData":{}}[/quote] I can go in my browser to a name that doesn't work and easily find their characters and their userID because it appears to be linked properly. For your own testing, if you're interested, here are six names that don't work: [spoiler]TeamEllis RexNusquam Staley07 Sycawaytrooper jmseyler433 docmo [/spoiler] Finally, it's worth noting that I can find the userID for someone who doesn't even have a gamertag linked with their account, which makes me wonder what the error message means when they can't find a central account. Any advice?

  • Iirc, find by display name is searching for a bungie.net user, not an Xbox or psn user, and then returning the specified ID associated with the bungie ID. For instance, my bungie display name is Spartain_, whereas my gamer tag for Xbox is Spartain. If I try and search for Spartain, nothing will return, but if I specify that I want the Xbox gamer tag (flag 1) associated with the bungie display name Spartain_, it should return the correct value. Again this is just from what I remember off the top of my head, and can't verify it right now, but that may be good enough information to get you looking in the right direction. Also sorry for any grammar or formatting nasties. Typing on phone isn't fun.
