Hi!↵

I'm trying to write a python script to extract certain users from a contest's standings([Hello 2022](https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1621) in this case), but most of the time I get an error because some people have changed their handle ever since that contest. I am combining [contest.standings](https://mirror.codeforces.com/apiHelp/methods#contest.standings) and [user.info](https://mirror.codeforces.com/apiHelp/methods#user.info) methods to extract the users that satisfy the given conditions. are there any other routes to achieve this goal or am I doing something wrong?


EDIT : in this case([Hello 2022](https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1621)), the user MiracleFaFa has changed their handle from Retired_MiFaFaOvO to MiracleFaFa.
