PlayerDB API

⭐ Beginner's Pick Games & Comics / No Auth Required Beginner HTTPS
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

PlayerDB is a free, no-auth API that lets you look up public player information for Minecraft, Steam, and Xbox accounts using usernames or IDs. It returns player profile data like avatars and UUIDs instantly without any signup. It is perfect for gaming apps that need to display player profiles quickly.

💡

Beginner Tip

Use the player username or UUID directly in the URL path — no API key needed. Minecraft lookups use the player name, while Steam uses the 64-bit Steam ID.
