How to get user.id from event_join?

[MasterRelaxa]

Hello,

How could i get the user.id from event_join, if it's always set to None?

as example:

async def event_join(self,channel,user):
print(f"{user.id,user.name}")

(None, 'icewizerds') 
(None, 'alienconglomeration')

Also tried to get it from event_ready and event_channel_joined and had the same issue.

I need to get a unique user-id, to be able to stack points in case the user changed the name.

This data is not available via IRC join messages directly, as you can see from the raw messages

:nightbot!nightbot@nightbot.tmi.twitch.tv JOIN #chillymosh
:streamelements!streamelements@streamelements.tmi.twitch.tv JOIN #chillymosh

You'd have to make an API call to do so.

It can be fetched.

    async def event_join(self,channel,user):
        userdata = await self.fetch_users([user.name])
        print(userdata[0].id)

Thanks for the help in discord.

Note for others to be aware that event_join can and will be called multiple times for same user even if they haven't left and rejoined due to how Twitch batch send.
