Google+ API did shut down. Google People API can be used instead, using the same account IDs. However, People API does not accept names from Google+ vanity URLs. How can I get the account ID from a Google+ vanity URL, now that I can't use Google+ API for this task anymore?

Thank you, but it is not about me. I like to get the ID for any old Google+ vanity URL. – Lothar Bongartz Sep 23 '19 at 10:19
