#

This is a little complicated, as users can change their username in a guild, or multiple users can share the same username

#

You could use client.users.fetch()

#

that won't get user from username

stray crypt Dec 23, 2021, 1:58 PM

#

You have multiple valid options to use for fetching

#

Where do you have this username from?

jaunty fable Dec 23, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

from like

#

somehtine.whois @jaunty fable

#

then parse it

stray crypt Dec 23, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

Then get the id, and use the id for fetching
