Get github username by Github User ID

Is there a good way of getting the username and info for the ID in github?

Using ID I can currently get the avatar, but not any other user information.

eg: https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2015

I have checked a similar question: Get github username by id

But the suggested answer does't seem to work any longer.

https://api.github.com/user/:2014 returns nothing.

For anyone looking to do this using the GitHub v4 GraphQL API, here's how you do it:

{
  node (id: "INSERT USERID") {
    ... on User {
      id
      login
    }
  }
}

The ... on User lets you look up attributes specific to User objects since a Node could be any number of things (e.g. users, repos, commits). See an official answer by GitHub on their forum for more details.

your problem is quite a bit easy. You just missed few facts. I am clearing these for you ,

  • You have to check the GITHUB API V3 - for a grasp on how these api really works. which is helpful for future projects.

  • And please also the https://api.github.com/user/:2014 is used slightly wrong way. You see , you have to use it as https://api.github.com/user/2014 this way . In my case it is providing ,

    { "login": "lee", "id": 2014, "avatar_url": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2014?v=3", "gravatar_id": "", "url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee", "html_url": "https://github.com/lee", "followers_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/followers", "following_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/following{/other_user}", "gists_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/gists{/gist_id}", "starred_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/starred{/owner}{/repo}", "subscriptions_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/subscriptions", "organizations_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/orgs", "repos_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/repos", "events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/events{/privacy}", "received_events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/lee/received_events", "type": "User", "site_admin": false, "name": null, "company": null, "blog": null, "location": "New York, NY", "email": null, "hireable": null, "bio": null, "public_repos": 6, "public_gists": 7, "followers": 16, "following": 7, "created_at": "2008-03-03T14:23:14Z", "updated_at": "2016-02-26T22:34:45Z" }

so , I think this will solve the problem and wish you a great day . :)
