What is a Minecraft UUID?

A UUID is the permanent 32-character identifier Mojang assigns to an account. Usernames can change, the UUID cannot, which is why whitelists, bans and plugin data are keyed on it.

Can I download another player's skin?

Yes. Mojang serves skins publicly, so any account's current skin can be viewed and saved as a PNG. Only the account owner can change what their own character wears.

How do I know if a skin is Classic or Slim?

The model is read from the account's own profile data and shown next to the name. Classic (Steve) arms are 4 pixels wide, Slim (Alex) arms are 3.

Why does a player have no cape?

Capes are granted by Mojang for events, migration or partnerships, and most accounts have none. When an account does own one, it is rendered on the 3D model here.
