how to get Channel ID from Channel Name Input?

[kholisrag]

Hi, asking simple and maybe stupid question, I cannot understand after they deprecate the channel api, and change it to conversation api,
can someone point me how to get channel ID from Channel Name using conversation API or latest slack-go lib?

You can use conversations.info method. ( I was misunderstanding question)

More details:

• https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/slack-go/slack#Client.GetConversationInfo
• https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.info

https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.info method can used if we known the channel ID,
what I want is input the channel name, and get the channel ID,

anyway fixed with looping method something like this :

	for {
		listChannel, c, err := c.GetConversations(&slack.GetConversationsParameters{
			ExcludeArchived: true,
			Limit:           200,
			Types:           []string{"public_channel", "private_channel"},
			Cursor:          cursor,
		})
		if err != nil {
			logrus.WithField("error_message", err).Error("Unable to Get Channel List")
			break
		}

		if c != "" {
			cursor = c
			logrus.Infof("Searching Next Cursor %v", cursor)

			found := false
			for _, ch := range listChannel {
				if channelName == ch.Name {
					selectedChannel = ch
					found = true
					break
				}
			}
			if found {
				break
			}
			time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
			continue
		}
	}

Ah, sorry. I was misunderstanding.
