[Channels database] Get full channel info - how to?

[OnkelTem]

Hey guys.

We work on creating a database of active channels. We could collect their names (provided by the channel owners), but we flatly refuse to type in some information about the channels apart from the one already associated with the channel. So there's a HUGE problem of retrieving channel data.

I wonder do you provide a way to acquire channel info by channel name? I know it's not possible with the current API, but maybe that there's an alternative way? I heard there are some channel IDs, which people have been used before for retrieving channel info. However in the current API channel ID is not returned (in onChannelStatus).

Any ideas, zello-people?

What specific channel metadata do you need?
