I have twitch.tv/AndreMatosdeSousa, now how can I get the user ID of AndreMatosdeSousa?

the users API will let you do this.

will return you JSON about the user, including their user id. A valid client id must be included in the headers. See https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5#translating-from-user-names-to-user-ids for more info

This endpoint doesn’t work if the channel/stream is offline though, right?
