How to find out a VK user ID by a short name using vk_api (python)?

Question

Python

When the bot receives a message with a link to the VK page, it is necessary to send the ID of this page in response, I saw a similar question, but I didn’t even find the methods that were described there (utils.resolveScreenName, users.get).

Answer 1

VKontakte API methods, you can use any of them:

1. utils.resolveScreenName()
   
2. users.get()
   

To call them from Python vk_api , see the main class VkApi method method()
