How to get literal user id via vk_api python?

Question

Python

The bottom line is that I need to make it possible to transfer money to the user in the bot. only now to transfer the money you need his DIGITAL ID which I already got. but it's terribly not convenient, it's easier to write @ and select who you need in the line. so here's how to process what the user has chosen in @ ?

Answer 1

An example of a function that returns the user ID by mention(@name, etc.)/link to the page

def get_user(pattern: str) -> int:
  if "[id" in pattern:

  if "vk.com/" in pattern:
    domen = pattern.split("/")[-1]
