Variables
The following table shows input values (you send them with the API call) and returned output values.

| Input basic parameters: | ||||
| action | yes | = name2key | ||
| apikey | yes | Your personal developer's API key. | ||

| secret | yes | Bot access code of your bot. | ||
| dataType | optional | Set to "json" to get JSON reply instead of URL-encoded string | ||

Return value
The command returns avatar's UUID by searching its Second Life name. Command returns two names:
- name - this is the name exactly as you've sent
- normalname - this is a "normalized" name: system adds "Resident" if necessary
Name case
SL ignores name case ("glaznah gassner" name is equal to "Glaznah GASSner"), so normalname may come lowercase.
If you want to get the exact name case from SL servers, set request_case to 1.
Example
1. Requesting the avatar UUID by Second Live name:
https://www.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html?action=name2key&name=barKeeeper&...
Result:
name = barKeeeper normalname = barkeeeper resident key = 76e96174-ddcf-482f-86aa-c9394664082f
Or, with request_case=1:
name = barKeeeper normalname = BarKeeeper Resident key = 76e96174-ddcf-482f-86aa-c9394664082f
2. Looking for an unexistent avatar
https://www.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html?action=name2key&name=ThisAvatarNotExists&...
Result:
result = FAIL resulttext = name lookup failed, ThisAvatarNotExists Resident normalname = ThisAvatarNotExists Resident name = ThisAvatarNotExists
