Accessing real Twich user Ids instead of opaque ids

[AdelaFoofur82]

HI! Great extension. Have you planned to make the twitch real user id info available to the click data? For certain gamification it would be great to have info of who actually is the one who is clicking. Sure I can work things out (Asking user by user to click on certain point of the screen to capture who is who) but it would be really useful to have that information already on the event object. Thanks for your work.

async getUserById(id) {

getUserById does exactly that for you btw :D

[AdelaFoofur82]

No, it doesn't. The ids given by your extension are opaque, and cannot be assigned to a real twitch user.

then the user/viewer hasnt authorized with the extension allowing for twitch to share their ID.

when a user have authorized Heat to get their ID, getUserById() does return a username

(its also not my extension, i just saw you question and have an aswer :D )

Ah I see. The extension doesn't ask for permission, but you can grant it anyway. The streamer has to tell the viewers to grant the access. Thanks.

BTW, At the end of february the Kraken API will be shut down. You should change to helix
