ID account
@idbot
Step one of the ID toolkit — and not a bot: @idbot is a personal Telegram account run by G.Media. Message it like a person — it instantly replies with your numeric user-id, username and profile metadata, then hands you over to the @id_bot bot.
Unlike the rest of the family, @idbot is not a bot. It is a personal Telegram account operated by G.Media. You write to it like to a person — and instantly get the data of your own account back: numeric user-id, username, profile metadata. No Start button, no slash-commands, no permissions. When you need ids beyond your own account (chats, groups, channels), the account hands you over to its partner — the classic bot @id_bot. Two different Telegram entities working as one funnel.
