Using on channel without a custom url

[cheeth]

Hello,

It appears the channel needs to have custom url in order to get API access,

Can you confirm this?

Best wishes,

I have a mixture of custom urls and channel ids. I tweaked the code a little bit to deal with this.
In getChannelId function, I set retVal = channelName(which is the channel id in my case), in the else part of if-else if the search for channel name doesn't return anything. Chanelnames that are not custom (for eg: UCxSz6JVYmzVhtkraHWZC7HQ) will not return anything in the search, but since we are passing the channel id which is what this function is supposed to return, we can directly use this.
