API GetChannelName

Returns info for a chat channel. id, name, instanceID, isCommunitiesChannel = GetChannelName(id or name)

• id: - Channel ID to query, e.g. 1 for the chat channel currently addressable using /1.
• name: - Name of the channel to query, e.g. "Trade - City".

• id: - The ID of the channel, or 0 if the channel is not found.
• name: - The name of the channel, e.g. "Trade - Stormwind", or nil if the player is not in the queried channel.
• instanceID: - Index used to deduplicate channels. Usually zero, unless two channels with the same name exist.
• isCommunitiesChannel: - True if this is a Blizzard Communities channel, false if not.

• Note that querying GetChannelName("Trade - City") may return values which appear to be valid even while the player is not a city. Consider using to check whether you really have access to the Trade channel.
