NAME

    WebService::Mojang::Minecraft::UUIDLookup - look up Minecraft
    usernames/UUIDs

DESCRIPTION

    A simple module to use Mojang's API to look up a Minecraft user's UUID
    from their username (and provide any previous names they've had), or
    given a UUID, return all names that account has had.

SYNOPSIS

        use WebService::Mojang::Minecraft::UUIDLookup;
    
        my $mojang_lookup = WebService::Mojang::Minecraft::UUIDLookup->new();
    
        # Look up a username and get their UUID and previous names
        if (my $user_details = $mojang_lookup->lookup_user($username)) {
            say "$username's UUID is " . $user_details->{uuid};
            if ($user_details->{previous_names}) {
                 say "Previous names for $username: " 
                    . join ',', @{ $user_details->{previous_names} };
            }
        } else {
            warn "Username $username not found";
        }
    
        # Or lookup a UUID and find the current username, and any previous ones
        if (my $user_details = $mojang_lookup->lookup_uuid($user_uuid)) {
            say "$user_uuid is $user_details->{username}";
            if ($user_details->{previous_names}) {
                say "Previous names for $user_details_>{username}: "
                    . join ',', @{ $user_details->{previous_names} };
            }
        } else {
            warn "UUID $user_uuid not found";
        }

Methods

 lookup_user

    Given a username, return their UUID and any previous usernames they had
    (unless the lookup_previous_usernames option is set to a false value;
    it defaults to enabled, but if you don't care about previous usernames
    and want to save an API call you can disable it.

    Returns undef if Mojang indicated no match, otherwise a hash (in list
    context) or hashref (in scalar context) with the keys:

    uuid

      The UUID for this username; this identifies the Mojang account, and
      does not change, even if the user renames their account.

    formatted_uuid

      The UUID for this username - as uuid, but formatted using
      Data::UUID's to_string method (e.g. 85d699cb21774d538366f2cdf9dc93cd
      as returned by Mojang becomes 36643538-3939-6263-3231-373734643533).

    username

      The current username for this account

    previous_usernames

      An arrayref of previous usernames this account has been known by,
      unless the lookup_previous_usernames attribute is set to a false
      value.

    If the account wasn't found, returns undef. Dies if it wasn't possible
    to retrieve a response from Mojang.

 lookup_uuid

    Given a Mojang account UUID, returns a hash (in list context) or a
    hashref (in scalar context) with the following keys:

    uuid

      The account's UUID (as you supplied)

    username

      The account's current username

    previous_usernames

      Any previous usernames this account has used.

    If the account wasn't found, returns undef. Dies if it wasn't possible
    to retrieve a response from Mojang.
