Currently, you wouldn't, as the Client API calls are meant to be made from the Client. However, we'll be updating the Server API in the near future to incorporate many of the Client API methods into it (of the ones not already there). What is your specific scenario, though? What Client API are you trying to call?
Hello Brendan,
I want to update user names by using the cloudscript because I want to check user names for some pattern.
For that I want to call UpdateUserTitleDisplayName API through cloudscript.
I made this checking on client-side. I think this is the best solution. If you concern about hacking you would never protect of it because hacker can just directly call ClientAPI/UpdateUserTitleDisplayName
"we'll be updating the Server API in the near future"
2 years later, I need this feature as well. A previous version of the project used PlayerData to store a 'Nickname'. Upon login, I'm checking if that key exists, and if so, deleting it, and wanting to call UpdateUserTitleDisplayName from cloud script.
A shame we're forcing the client to perform server side functionality. I guess it isn't my bandwidth bill...
We actually did add more functionality to the Server API, to make it available in Cloud Script. The UpdateUserTitleDisplayName API call has not, but that's simply because we've had only a few requests for that. I'd recommend adding a post asking for it in the Feature Requests forum. The "likes" on ideas there help us with prioritization, since it allows an easy way for developers to indicate which features would be most useful to them.
We waiting for 6 years now to get able to change nickname from cloudscript. We dont need to change different user nickname, we need to change current user display name, i can't belive that it is realy hard to implement
Would be good to have LinkGameCenterAccount and other Link commands available to repair user account related problems on the Playfab site. Are they going to be available? For now i cannot repair these accounts. (I wanted to use it through Run Cloudscript on the player`s playfab page)
Only account types that are set up with a simple ID (like device ID or custom ID) can be set up via the Game Manager currently. Any account type which requires a token will only be set up correctly via a valid token, since they need to exchange data with the service that owns the account being referenced. At the moment, we'd recommend using the Client API calls in a simple tool, like Postman, for cases where you want to re-link a token-based account.
