Netflix API simple query for queue

I am playing with the Netflix API. I am confused on what they want as the 'UserID'. (for a protected query) I am sending in this string (after authentication) to get the User's queue: http://api-public.netflix.com/users/'userID'/queues

This is return from authentication (not the real token) but what part of it is the userID?

oauth_token=xxx4ewzxxx8xx3xxxx3x9hv&oauth_token_secret=xxx8xxxx7xxd&
application_name=MyFlix&login_url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi-
user.netflix.com%2Foauth%2Flogin%3Foauth_token%3Dxxx4ewzxxx8xx3xxxx3x9hv

Maybe I am not even approaching it from the right angle. Any documentation or code I have found glosses over that part (My netflix ID doesn't work and I assume it should be part of the oauth token I get back, not my normal netflix ID)

Its a bit old question, but you need to get access token which will give you userid. You can get access token when user agrees that your application can access his netflix account by calling API 

 http://api-public.netflix.com/oauth/access_token

These information you will later use for communcation with api.

Hope it helps.
