Getting information on an UberId (from outside the game)

I need to get the display name of an UberId via a GET call to a URL from javascript running outside of PA. From the ladder, I found the following bit of code:

Code:

var query = 'UberIds=' + uberIds.join('&UberIds=');
engine.asyncCall('ubernet.call', '/GameClient/UserNames?' + query, false)
    .done(function (data) {
        var result = JSON.parse(data);
        _.forOwn(result.Users, function(user, uberid) {
            if (!_.isEmpty(user.TitleDisplayName))
                self.displayNames[uberid](user.TitleDisplayName);
            else
                self.displayNames[uberid](user.UberName);
        });
    })

So it looks like I should be able to call

http://<something>/GameClient/UserNames?UberIds=[uberID]

then use data.TitleDisplayName or data.UberName. However, I can't tell what <something> is. I've tried "http://4.uberent.com/" (which is what the ladder data is retrieved from), but no luck.

Context:
Trying to get player names from the ladder information pulled from
http://4.uberent.com/MatchMaking/GetRankLeaderboard?GameType=Ladder1v1&TitleId=4&Rank=1
which only gives UberIds.

@yrrep Would probably know the most about this. A quick look at it with Wireshark seems to be trying to tell me that it's not using HTTP, but I could be missing it.

It's https, but you can guess what is and how to use it by looking at the internals of pa.exe and a bit of guessing.

An example curl session looks like this:

Code:

curl --data '{TitleId: 4, AuthMethod: "UberCredentials", UberName: "<playfab-user>", Password: "<playfab-pass>"}' --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://uberent.com/GC/Authenticate

returns something like:

Code:

{"SessionTicket":"<session-ticket>", ....}

Code:

curl --header "X-Authorization: <session ticket>" https://uberent.com/GameClient/UserNames?UberIds=123

returns

Code:

{"Users":{"123":{"UberName":"ubername","TitleDisplayName":"displayname"}}}

Ah thanks .

Observation: If I start PA directly without logging in it still shows the leaderboard with names.
Either it is cached or there is a way to get the names without authorization.

Yep, they changed it so you no longer need to logon

Nope, spoke too soon.

https://uberent.com/GameClient/User...17409233449785568&UberIds=4173227501181436823

Multiple IDs at once, and no auth required.

Ok, now I'm just confused. That's what I thought in the post above, then I tried it on a browser I wasn't logged into the forums on, and it didn't work. Now I try again and it does

Edit: Turns out I was missing the TitleId=4 parameter - this is contained within the session, so it's not needed when you are logged in, hence why it worked before.
