Use the “Get Users” API to convert from a name to an ID.

Or use the oAuth token on the users API to get the ID for that token

You can see in this implicit auth example

The user will authenticate. then the token is passed directly to the users API to get the user data for that token

          document.getElementById('access_token').textContent = '';
          
          if (document.location.hash && document.location.hash != '') {
              var parsedHash = new URLSearchParams(window.location.hash.slice(1));
              if (parsedHash.get('access_token')) {
                  var access_token = parsedHash.get('access_token');
                  document.getElementById('access_token').textContent = `Your Access Token extracted from the #url is ${access_token}`;
          
                  document.getElementById('user_data').textContent = 'Loading';
          
                  // call API
                  fetch(
                      'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users',
                      {
                          "headers": {

                              "Authorization": `Bearer ${access_token}`
                          }
                      }
                  )
                  .then(resp => resp.json())
