Finding my user id

[William Reed]

Hey guys I am following along the PUSH tutorial here https://dev.groupme.com/tutorials/push and I am up to subscribing to the user channel. This step uses the code:

[
  {
    "channel":"/meta/subscribe",
    "clientId":"1c5k4zq1mycffe161kgqp13gnvvn",
    "subscription":"/user/<userid>",
    "id":"2",
    "ext":
      {
        "access_token":"<your API access token>",
        "timestamp":1322556419
      }
  }
]

My question is where do I find my user id? Also if I were able to find the user id of a different person is this possible to see there messages? I hope that is not true but I am curious.

With your access token, you can hit https://api.groupme.com/v3/users/me to find your user ID.

No. Your access token will only allow you to subscribe to your own messages.
