Answer 1

It's really simple with TaaS

1. Sign up, create an API key for phone number or bot token
2. Make a POST request to https://api.t-a-a-s.ru/client with JSON body:

{
  "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "@type": "searchPublicChat",
  "username": "@username"
}

You will receive chat_id of a user in response.
