Is there another way to retrieve Channel App ID's?

I get that I can run http://<myIPaddress:8060/query/apps but is there a way to retrieve the ID of channel without having to install the channel on my Roku?

Specifically for Private Channels

you can find your channel id from the Address bar if you log onto owner.roku.com and view your channel’s properties.

Yeah I get that. I 'm trying to find the IDs for private channels that aren’t mine

Why do you need other peoples channel IDs?

Working on a channel that lists private channels

A lot of people don’t want their private channels made public…

Figured out how to do it.

Thanks

Great. Now be sure to keep that information to yourself.

That’s right. Private channels are usually private for a reason. And keep in mind this nugget from the developer agreement: http://wwwimg.roku.com/static/sdk/legal … eement.pdf

Developer may not use the SDK to (i) enable the installation of third party channel applications, or
(ii) to create Developer’s own version of a Channel Store

Well, that kills it.
Thanks for the heads up RokuChris
On to my next project.

I am also looking for the channel app Id so I can place it into my Home Assistant automation. However, when I try going to owner.roku.com I get the error Site can not reached.

Either I am doing something wrong or the site has been shut down.

Appreciate your help in locating the channel app IDs.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@TripleDD , why are you reviving a 10 year old thread?

As was mentioned in the first post, you can get the IDs of the apps installed on your Roku device using cURL.

curl http://<your Roku's IP address>:8060/query/apps

You can also just enter the URL into a browser if you don’t want to use cURL.

Many thanks. Somehow I miss-read/miss-understood the Roku IP address…was stumbling on how to get this. Now I know where to get it - from the cable/modem/router device.

Duh! Thanks for restating the obvious…humbly - thank you!
