🎮 Mojang Minecraft Profile Scraper

Turn a list of Minecraft usernames into rows with the UUID, skin texture URL, cape URL and skin model. Two lookups per player are done for you: username to UUID, then UUID to profile textures. No API key, no account, no Microsoft login.

Mojang publishes player identity across two public endpoints, and neither returns what you actually need on its own. The first maps a username to a UUID. The second takes that UUID and returns a base64 blob you have to decode before the skin and cape URLs are readable. This Actor does both steps and the decoding, then writes one flat row per username.

Who uses it	What they use profiles for
🖥 Server operators	Resolving a whitelist or ban list of usernames to stable UUIDs before a migration
🧩 Plugin and mod developers	Batch-resolving players without writing and rate-limiting two API calls
🏆 Tournament and community admins	Checking that a roster of signups maps to real, current accounts
🎨 Skin and avatar tools	Pulling texture URLs and the skin model for rendering

📋 What it does

💡 Why it matters: usernames change, UUIDs do not. Any list keyed on a name goes stale. Resolving the whole list to UUIDs once is what stops that.

• 🔎 Takes a plain list of usernames and returns one row per name, in the order you supplied them.
• 🆔 Resolves to the UUID, the identifier that survives a name change and the one every server API expects.
• 👕 Decodes the texture payload so the skin URL and cape URL arrive as plain links, not as base64 inside a property object.
• 🧍 Returns the skin model, classic or slim, which is what a renderer needs to size the arms correctly.
• ⚠️ Surfaces profile actions, the list Mojang uses to mark an account as forced to change name or banned from multiplayer. Empty on a normal account.
• 💾 Exports to CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, from the run page or the API.

📊 Output

Every username is one flat row. capeUrl is null for accounts with no cape, which is most of them.

🖼 imageUrl	string	Skin texture link, the same value as skinUrl, kept as a generic image column

✨ Why choose this Actor

	What you get
Two calls collapsed into one row	Name to UUID and UUID to textures, done and joined.
The base64 blob already decoded	Skin and cape arrive as URLs you can open, not as an encoded property.
No credentials	Both endpoints are public. No API key, no Microsoft account, no OAuth.
The same 9 fields every run	Append batches into one dataset without cleaning columns.
You pay per row	No subscription. $0.001 per profile on the Free plan.

🚀 How to use it

1. Create a free Apify account. New accounts start with $5 of credit.
2. Open the Actor and select Try for free.
3. Paste your usernames into usernames, one per line.
4. Set maxItems to cap the run.
5. Select Start, then export from the Dataset tab as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.

A first run:

{
  "usernames": ["Notch", "jeb_", "Dinnerbone"],
  "maxItems": 10
}

A larger batch:

{
  "usernames": ["Notch", "jeb_", "Dinnerbone", "Grumm", "Searge"],
  "maxItems": 1000
}

⚙️ Input

Field	Required	Description
usernames	No	Minecraft usernames to look up, one per line. Each name produces one row
maxItems	No	Maximum profiles per run. Free plan is capped at 10, paid plans up to 1,000,000

💰 Pricing

Pay per result. No subscription, and no Apify platform usage on top.

Apify plan	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Platinum	Diamond
Per profile row	$0.001	$0.00097	$0.00094	$0.0009	$0.0009	$0.0009

Rows collected	Cost on the Free plan
100	$0.10
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00

Free plan runs return up to 10 rows as a preview. Any paid Apify plan lifts that to 1,000,000 per run.

🔌 Integrate with any app

The dataset is available through the Apify API as soon as the run finishes. Use run-sync-get-dataset-items for a one-shot call, webhooks to trigger what happens next, or the Make, Zapier, Airbyte and LangChain integrations listed on the Actor page.

🤖 Use with an AI agent

Give an agent live access to the profile lookup over the Model Context Protocol:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=acquistion-automation/mojang-minecraft-profile-scraper"

Then hand it a list of usernames and ask which ones failed to resolve.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Does it return the player's name history? No. Mojang retired the name history endpoint, so each row carries the current username only. There is no previous-names field.

What happens to a username that does not exist? Mojang returns nothing for it. The Actor does not invent a row with a made-up UUID.

Why does uuid have no dashes? That is how the session server returns it. Insert dashes at positions 8, 12, 16 and 20 if a tool you use expects the hyphenated form.

Are imageUrl and skinUrl different? No. imageUrl repeats the skin texture link so the dataset has a generic image column for tools that expect one. Use either.

Does it work for Bedrock or cracked accounts? No. This reads Mojang's session server, which covers Java Edition accounts only.

What can I export? CSV, Excel, JSON and XML from the run page, or JSON straight from the API.
