<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I'm looking for a way to obtain the informations of a user, such as his UID and avatar, from his display name.</p>
<p>The OSM API only provides a way with the UID:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_a_user">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_a_user</a></p>
<p>Is it already implemented or planned?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
