Get channel info via channel id

API
1

i want to get channel info via channel id i am trying this API from docs

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<channel ID>

in docs it says it returns specific channel object.
i am executing this like

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/262027661?client_id=my_client_id

but its always returns me this error
{"error":"Not Found","status":404,"message":"Unable to find channel for login \"262027661\""}

where i am mistaking?

You need to set a header declaring you want v5 responses.

Without a header it defaults to v3 and you are using V3

For exmaple:

curl -H 'Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json' \
-H 'Client-ID: uo6dggojyb8d6soh92zknwmi5ej1q2' \
-X GET https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users?login=dallas,dallasnchains

You need an Accept header in your request declaring v5. Otherwise this end point attempts to lookup by username 262027661 instead of userid 262027661 as thats the behaviour of this end point between v3/v5
