User IDs etc.

I'm trying to sync my Zotero library with an online database builder called Heurist. To do so I need to enter my library's "Title,UserID,GroupID,Key, separated by | eg. Artem's library,1958388,268611,YjUxZzcgq1fhCd9YyxgzzVNX | Ian's library,1836383,274864,DuFHBTyVYVhuIhttUotyqBSjb", as suggested on the help page. Any ideas on where I might find these details?

Thanks x

Title I'm unclear what they mean and they shouldn't need it. Might just be what you'd like to call it. Your user id is 2946229 (you can tell by hovering over your name here in the forum). You can tell the group ID by clicking on the group on https://www.zotero.org/groups/ -- it's the last part of the URL (the only part that's a number). You'll have to create a key in
https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys

Hi,
Did you manage to do the sync? I am trying to do the same and I am also having difficulties... I assume that we have to write a "name" but I am not sure what to type as name... Thanks

Is there any other way to find the user id?

@dadvar Just hover your name on this page with the mouse, and you can see what your user id is (usually at the bottom of your browser as the link): https://forums.zotero.org/profile/9676260/dadvar

It is 9676260.

Or just click on it, and it will be in the URL.

It also says it in https://www.zotero.org/settings/security#applications

"User ID: Your user ID for use in API calls is ..."
