Returns a handle (a key) that can be used to identify the request when the dataserver event is raised.

The agent being searched for with this function does not need to be signed on to Second Life.
Returns a key

• string

username

–

the username of the avatar to retrieve the UUID of.

Caveats

• This function is throttled. The throttle is undocumented, but as of October 2018 the function appears to support bursts of up to 20 requests and sustained use at an average rate of 1.9 requests per second. Once tripped, the function fails and says "Too many llRequestUserKey requests. Throttled until average falls." on DEBUG_CHANNEL.

Examples

key name_key_query;
default
{
   state_entry()
   {
       name_key_query = llRequestUserKey("rider.linden");
   }

   dataserver(key queryid, string data) 
   {
       if ( name_key_query == queryid )
       {
           llSay(0, "The key for this user is : " + data);
       }
   }
}

Notes

Names are always provided in the form "First[ Last]" or "first[.last]" (first name with an optional last name.) If the last name is omitted a last name of "Resident" is assumed. Case is not considered when resolving agent names.
