How do you get the user’s info like name with a user id? I’m getting a list of my followers but the API returns a list of user ids. I tried getting the user by this ID but it keeps telling me the user doesn’t exist. > **[Reference](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/)** > > Twitch Developer tools and services to integrate Twitch into your development or create interactive experience on twitch.tv. ---

I found the issue. I was not using this header. Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json’ ---
