Foursquare Realtime API - UserId vs Authentication relation

During connected app integration user is redirected to a callback url provided by application developer. At the last step of authentication it is written that "Save this access token for this user in your database." . But the problem is you do no get userId during this authentication process.

https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/auth#access

I get authentication code but can not access userId. How can get userId of authenticating user...

regards..

Once you have the access token, you can make a request to the users/self endpoint to get any information about the user associated with that token, including the user's id.
