I have a list off UUIDs of players who have joined, how do I automatically add to whitelist?

I have a full list of all the UUIDs I want to be on my whitelist, but it seems that whitelist.json doesn't accept UUIDs without a username entry as well. The attached image is my whitelist right now. This does not work, NONE of the whitelisted UUIDs can join. What do I do about this?

that has to be done manually then ok i have a different question actually is there a not-manual way to get every username of every player who has ever joined a server? it seems liek it would be easier to do that if that is possible and then just put every username in the whitelist maker

i cant do that manually for 200 + usernames theyd probably blacklist my ip after that many šŸ’€ especially if i found some way to automate it and do it quickly

This can probably be done is a scripting language of your choice. Since you can query the site using the UUID in the url theb scrape the name Beautifulsoup in python

if i have to engineer a solution in a new language, its gonna take even longer than if i did this all manually probably

It can be overwhelming if you aren't familiar with html, rest, scripting, but it's also a pretty solid use case for scripting.

i understand, but this is also kinda time sensitive

This is the sort of thing I would code and then throw away RIP GG

weep, for i am making the single most stupidly written scraper known to man where i specifically search out "username", add 3 to that index, and then just take everything between that index and the next quotation mark not parsing the data or anything, just taking the whole webpage and searching it for a string šŸ˜Ž doesnt even check if the request was successful in finding a player hooh but thisll work i think i hope it works i guess i REALLY think someone should make a plugin for this tho like how has no one ever thought "hm im going to turn on the whitelist now but i DONT want all previous players to be stopped from entering the server" with a server that has had more than 20 people? oh well
