Public Citizen ID

Opt in to a public verified profile and control exactly what other sites can see.

Citizen ID makes your verified Discord↔RSI link shareable. Once you're verified (see Citizen Verification), you can publish a public profile at https://starbotid.space/citizen/YourHandle that any community can trust.

Going public

  1. Go to your profile and find the Public Citizen ID card (it appears once you're verified).
  2. Toggle Make my Citizen ID public.
  3. Choose what to show with the per-field switches:
    • Show Discord link — reveals your Discord account and allows reverse lookup by Discord ID. On by default (it's the point of the service).
    • Show organizations — your RSI org affiliations.
    • Show location — off by default.
    • Show bio — off by default.

Turn off Make my Citizen ID public at any time to remove your profile and stop all API access to your data immediately.

What stays private

Nothing is public until you opt in. Hidden fields are omitted entirely from both the profile page and the API — there's no way for a third party to tell a hidden field apart from one you don't have. If you hide your Discord link, reverse lookup by Discord ID returns "not found" even though your profile by handle still works.

For developers

Other sites can verify citizens programmatically — see the Citizen ID API reference.
