$(user) - YouTube and multiple users with same name

[Janttu]

Hi.

In YouTube there can be multiple users with same name. I’d like to make a custom call to my website with Nightbot, but this would cause an issue how to identify people. So, instead of $(user), is there any way of getting unique identifier for users to identify them? Like channel url or something?

Thanks.

It’s not currently documented, but you can use the variable $(userid) to get the user’s YouTube channel id.

Thanks for the reply. I will give that a try.
