How to list all users with a 3 letter name (not all at once obviously)

How would I do this:

Over the span of 5 minutes (to not put too much weight on the servers), list all users with a 3 letter name and list the users in an HTML page.

Of course, an existing database or file full of users to parse would be better.

first use a permutation generator to generate all the usernames, then every 0.3 seconds send a request to https://api.scratch.mit.edu/accounts/checkusername/{username} and check if the account is taken or not

Yes. That usernames list has NOT taken/allowed usernames. You can create another program to select all the usernames excluding the usernames from that list. Thus, not requesting the Scratch Server at all!

are you talking about accounts like this (3 characters) or all 3 characters are letters (for example “abc”)

Sorry - had to delete the list of blocked names. The filter considers them inappropriate - and I agree. They shouldn't be listed here.
