My profile has no USER_ID? #16

Closed danbgoldman closed 11 months ago

danbgoldman commented 1 year ago

My profile page doesn't have a URL of the format shown in the README. It says:

go to your public profile page, in the URL bar of the browser you find the substack address followed by your USER_ID and your username: https://substack.com/profile/[USER_ID]-[username]

But my profile isn't under /profile, and it's just my username, prefaced by an ampersand:

https://substack.com/@danbgoldman

How can I find my user id?

oh, i didn't know this was a thing. Have you found a solution? I know that you can inspect the headers/body of the post request when saving a draft from the website and the user_id should be included. Let me know.

I think so: If I view the source for my profile page, there is a JSON "user_id" value in several places that looks promising. But I haven't tried it with the API yet.
