Find Any Codewars Username with WhatsMyName App
Codewars is a practice platform built around small challenges called kata, and it publishes an unusually open API. A single request returns an account's honor, clan, leaderboard position and rank in every language it has used. That makes a Codewars handle more informative than most practice profiles. WhatsMyName App checks one alongside 731 other platforms in a single search.

Codewars presents programming challenges, called kata, which users solve and then compare against other people's solutions. That comparison step is the point: seeing five better implementations of something you just wrote is the teaching mechanism. Profiles live at codewars.com/users/handle.
Progress is measured on two separate scales, and they measure different things. Rank uses kyu and dan levels borrowed from Japanese martial arts by way of the game of Go, and reflects skill: you climb it by solving harder kata. Honor reflects activity and community standing, and accrues from solving, authoring, translating and voting on kata. A high honor score with a modest rank means someone contributes a lot; the reverse means someone solves hard problems quietly.
What makes the platform notable for identity checking is the public API. A request to codewars.com/api/v1/users/handle returns the username, the display name, honor, clan, leaderboard position, listed skills and rank scores for each language. The display name is frequently a real name, and the clan field is frequently an employer or a university.
How Codewars Usernames Work
Handles form the profile URL at codewars.com/users/handle, and the API is addressed by the same string. There is no separate numeric identifier to worry about, so the handle is the whole key.
The API response is the part worth understanding before you draw conclusions. Alongside the handle it returns a name field and a clan field, both of which users fill in freely. People routinely put their real name in one and their employer or university in the other, without necessarily thinking of the API as public. It is.
Handle reuse across practice platforms is high, since people preparing for interviews spread their effort. The same handle usually appears on LeetCode and HackerRank, and often on GitHub. Because the Codewars API exposes a name and a clan, it is frequently the entry in a scan that adds the most context rather than merely confirming existence.
- Profile URL format: codewars.com/users/handle
- Rank uses kyu and dan levels and reflects skill
- Honor reflects activity and community contribution
- The public API returns name, clan, honor and per-language ranks
- Name and clan fields often contain a real name and an employer

No account, no install, no cost. Results in under 90 seconds.
Go to WhatsMyName App
Open whatsmynameapp.us in any browser. Nothing to install.
Enter the handle
Type the Codewars username exactly as it appears in the profile URL.
Run the search
Click Search. All 732 platforms are checked in parallel, including Codewars.
Find the Codewars result
Results stream in as each check completes. Look for the Codewars entry showing confirmed or not found.
Open the profile
A confirmed result links to the public profile, showing rank, honor, clan and the languages the account has practised in.
Read rank and honor separately
They measure different things. Rank is skill, honor is activity and contribution, and the gap between them tells you what kind of user this is.
Check the practice cluster
Look at the LeetCode, HackerRank and GitHub results in the same scan for a fuller picture.
What WhatsMyName App Shows for Codewars
A confirmed result links to a profile carrying rank, honor, clan and per-language rank scores. Because the same data is available through a public API, this is one of the more detailed confirmations in a scan. The language breakdown is genuinely useful: it shows what someone actually practises rather than what they list on a CV.
A not-found result means no account holds that handle. The API is straightforward and returns a clear not-found response, so there is little ambiguity here compared with platforms that infer existence from a rendered page.

For assessing a developer, read the two scales against each other. Someone with high honor and moderate rank is a contributor who authors and translates kata, which is a community role. Someone with high rank and modest honor solves hard problems without engaging much. Neither is better, but they describe different people, and a CV will not tell you which one you are talking to.
For identity work, the name and clan fields are the reason to check this platform at all. They are free text that users fill in, they are exposed through a public API, and they frequently contain exactly the kind of detail that connects a pseudonymous handle to an employer or an institution.
If it is your own account, that last point cuts both ways. Whatever you typed into the name and clan fields is publicly retrievable, and it is worth looking at what those say if you use this handle anywhere you would rather stay pseudonymous.
- Rank and honor describe different kinds of user
- The language breakdown shows real practice, not claims
- Name and clan are free text and publicly retrievable
- Check your own fields if the handle is used pseudonymously elsewhere

Frequently Asked Questions about Codewars Username Search
What is the difference between rank and honor on Codewars?
Rank uses kyu and dan levels and reflects skill, climbing as you solve harder kata. Honor reflects activity and community standing, accruing from solving, authoring, translating and voting. They describe different things.
What does the Codewars API expose?
A request to codewars.com/api/v1/users/handle returns the username, display name, honor, clan, leaderboard position, listed skills and rank scores per language. The name and clan fields are free text filled in by the user.
How do I find someone on Codewars?
Search the handle in WhatsMyName App and open the Codewars result. The profile shows rank, honor, clan and language breakdown, and the rest of the scan shows where the handle appears elsewhere.
Why are the name and clan fields worth noticing?
Because they are free text that is publicly retrievable, and people commonly put a real name in one and an employer or university in the other without thinking of the API as public.
Does a high Codewars rank mean someone is a strong engineer?
It means they solve hard constrained problems. That is a real skill and a partial signal, but building and maintaining software is a different one, which is what a code host shows.
Is checking a Codewars profile legal?
Should I check what my own Codewars profile exposes?
Yes, particularly if you use the same handle somewhere you would rather stay pseudonymous. Whatever you entered as your name and clan is retrievable through the public API.
