not sure how to get channel id by youtube username

[rebelvg]

hey! looking thru the API I cannot seem to find the option of getting "channel id" by youtube username.
for example, my channel url is https://www.youtube.com/@rebelvg and the youtube username is rebelvg or @rebelvg.
I want to get channel id of the user so I can make subsequent requests like "get channel" that uses channel id and so on.
how do I do that?
currently I'm leveraging google data api for that, but I want to completely ditch that one and use innertube for all operations.

For this, you'd want to pass in the url to InnerTube's resolveURL function and then get the channel id from that. https://ytjs.dev/api/classes/Innertube.html#resolveurl

this seems to be working, thanks!
