Hey everyone, I’m still pretty new to using Discourse to serve as the central form of communication for my community and was just unsure how to go about certain things. I’ll explain what I’m trying to do so you can get a better understanding. So, my community is gaming oriented and I want to use Discourse as a source of user management for all parts of my community. I am attempting to synchronize ranks from Discourse to a Steam game server for users that have signed in with Steam. How would I look up a user by the Steam ID efficiently with the Discourse API, so I can get their groups? Any guidance would be appreciated! I am pretty familiar with using APIs, but I just cannot figure out if this would be readily doable or what the best approach for me is going to be.

You should be able to use this for both Discord and Steam logins: [תמונה] Finding a user by their identity provider 'external ID' Site Management bookmark This guide explains how to find a Discourse user based on their external_id from an identity provider using API calls. person_raising_hand Required user level: Administrator When using an external authentication system, Discourse keeps track of two user ids: the Discourse user_id, and an external_id from the identity provider. If you need to lookup a Discourse user based on the external_id, this #howto article is for you! Below, you’ll learn how to perform this operation. API S…

I would like to do this also. I don’t have an answer, but see the following: [תמונה] Migrate FROM discourse WordPress The Discourse user’s external_id will match the WP user_id. [תמונה] Migrate FROM discourse WordPress I’m not interested in migrating from Discourse, but I am interested in this. Can you elaborate where this field is found? Using Data Explorer, I don’t see it under the users table or any other table. [תמונה] Migrate FROM discourse WordPress I’m not sure in which table it’s stored, but external_id is part of the users export file from /admin/users/list/active → Export EDIT: found it - it’s in the single_sign_on_records table. You can download a csv file that contains both user id and external id from /admin/users/list/active, Export. That’s not an API call but maybe it would help.

Yeah, that’s definitely a step in the right direction. I’m just not seeing any way to do a query via the API to look up a person via an external identified. Ideally I want to be able to do it using both Discord IDs and Steam IDs, but I’m hoping to get Steam IDs sorted out first.

Thank you so much, I just tested that, and it worked exactly as I needed it to! Now I’ll just need to write the in-game implementation.
