Ya as other said below, this would be very easy to do with lemmy-js-client. That endpoint is called persondetails I think.

We also have an open issue for user export of your own data, which would be very easy for someone who knows sql to do.

Did a read through on all those calls. None of them would work quite the way I want unfortunately.

I think it was intended to give an idea for you access to the raw data, you would still have "crunch the data"
