API for finding usernames / adding to group

[fallend]

Forum URL: startradersrpg.proboards.com/

Is there an API to take a list of forum usernames and get the numerical user IDs?

Is there an API to takea  username or numerical user ID and add them to a group?

We're coming out of a Kickstarter and need to add 1,000 users to a group.

fallend, there is not a way to add a batch of members to a group. There is a provision however for members to be added to a specific group automatically as part of the registration process.

Is there any way you can suggest going from username to user ID so we can create links for ourselves and cut down on teh gross number of clicks/typing required to do this?

Currently, we're creating links that search for the member's name. Then we click auto-generated search link (/members?q=name) >> click the name >> Groups >> add this member to group.  It will be 4000-ish clicks.

Anyway to cut it down would be nice.

Would the support team be willing to take a list of names and run some SQL for us?
