this is my image atm:

this is how i want the skin to be:

[gleaming tapir]

code 400 usually means that the request you sent in was unrecognized (probably some incorrect info in the request)

and just a recommendation, but instead of a long if elif statement, use a match case

[gleaming tapir]

(incorrect ign, incorrect uuid, etc.)

also you are using async functions but also using requests... requests is a blocking library (isnt async) and it could cause problems down the road. try out aiohttp instead @rich plank

[rich plank]

alr so if i recode it into aiohttp it might work?

[rich plank]

wait hollup what i gotta do to fix it?

and what is a match case

[gleaming tapir]

probably not, just saying that aiohttp is async, just like the rest of your code. currently you are using requests which will block the io stream and prevent anyone else from using commands until it finishes the request

[rich plank]

oh thanks ill recode it to asiohttp then much better if multiple users can use it at once

[half cobalt]

an alternative would be to run the request in a thread via asyncio.to_thread, but sure, using an async requests library would be nicer.

[rich plank]

alright thanks

[gleaming tapir]

i tried out the same website that you used but i only get 200's

[half cobalt]

quite possibly the server actually tells you what the problem is in the response body, OP. by only reading the status code you can miss out on information.

[gleaming tapir]

and you seem to be calling the request twice..

[rich plank]

oh what

[rich plank]

this is the api i made for the basic info:

    async def get_basic_info(self, uuid):
        url = f"{API_BASE_URL}/player/info/{uuid}?api={API_KEY}"
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get(url) as response:
                if response.status == 200:
                    return await response.json()
                else:
                    raise Exception("Failed to fetch player basic info")```

and this is the error i get

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
