How to parse the name and VK user ID from a link to his profile?

Question

Bots

I have a telegram bot in which it is necessary that when you insert a link to a user in VK, you receive his name and user ID. There is no information on this issue on the Internet, only ways to parse VK groups, but I don’t need it. I would be glad if someone showed or explained how to parse such data.

Answer 1

If the link is https://vk.com/id663629411 or https://vk.com/innkvi

link_string = "https://vk.com/id663629411"
user = link_string.split("/")[-1].replace("id", "")

Just keep in mind that the custom link can also contain characters id, so add an extra check.
Next, make a request to the api, passing userfrom the code above to the user_ids
