Authorized Applications - Names and Resets

Authorized apps like feedyourglutt and 'show me my stuff' are able to obtain the name entered in bio, as opposed to the glitch character name. The api call that accesses the glitch name from glitch servers and displays on authorized applications must be accessing the data where the bio name is stored.

I edited my bio so that now the Name field in Edit Bio is blank. But still these external applications are still getting my previous bio name. That means the bio name is stored somewhere else on glitch servers and is not being reset when bio is updated. 


I reported this and this was discussed here and stoot replied , but thought this belongs in bugs.http://beta.glitch.com/forum/general/3235/

Also I don't know if this is bug or not, but sometimes when a new day begins in glitch worlds; I have to reauthorize the authorize apps if i hit reload to see the updated data. This happens even if I am still logged in and did not reset my web browser.

  • this is a bug - it'll be fixed shortly

    the resetting thing sounds odd. it's likely a bug in the app you're using.

  • The return value for your name should now be fixed to match whatever you've entered in your bio.

    Gia, please be aware that some applications may cache (locally store) data that they've received from our API, so there's still a chance that some applications might show the old value for your name for a little while.
