User Lookup

Overview

Dragon6 can lookup a user from 3 different components:

Identifier Name	Example	LookupMethod	Notes
Username	PaPa.Curry	LookupMethod.Name
Ubisoft Id	14c01250-ef26-4a32-92ba-e04aa557d619	LookupMethod.UserId	Permanent id - if you plan on saving user info, save this one
Platform Id	7729747787525340203	LookupMethod.PlatformId	On consoles this can return all ubisoft accounts linked to the user's xbox live/psn.

Notes

• The Profile Id is for getting stats and won't help you reverse a user's profile info
• If you lookup by PlatformId, use the GetUsers overload and check the results. there could be a chance the server returns the items in a different order and you get the wrong account
• We support 3 platforms: PC, XB1 and PSN. While there are others (twitch is one) you can't play by logging into that platform so it's pointless
• d6Client.GetUser() throws when it fails to find a user

Example

private AccountInfo LookupUserByName(Platform platform, string userName)
{
    //you could lookup the username in a cache and then preserve the result for 12 hours or something?
    return d6Client.GetUser(platform, LookupMethod.Name, userName);
}
