yep, that's options number 2 🙂
I will implement that

Why not give an option to provide their user name and then convert it in the code?

Hi @<1523701842515595264:profile|PleasantOwl46> , In the info section you can see the user name but not ID (However it is returned in the API request the webUI sends)

What is your use case?

I manage clearml-server for many users
wrote a script that pulls tasks (for review - pending deletion) and limit for specific user (saw the REST can limit only by user id )
so user will need to provide the script his own user id in advance
I guess my options are:

• maintain stastic list of users (which I get from users.get_all endpoint)
• add to my script another query that will match user name to user id, before running the tasks_get.all for specific user id
