Kik bot framework get Kik chat id

Question

I see in a lot of examples and in the docs this

       'chatId': 'b3be3bc15dbe59931666c06290abd944aaa769bb2ecaaf859bfb65678880afab'

I tried Googling but couldn't found anything except sites for finding people on kick. So is this the same as the API key i get when signing up. I'm using Python so in Node.JS maybe there won't show.

Answer 1

The chatId is a unique ID for every conversation your bot is in. The simplest way to handle them is to reply to messages with the same chatId they came in with. (i.e. if a message comes in with the chatId foobar, your response for it should include the chatId foobar).
