Last year and beginning of this year I developed a lot of features using a token made with an autoaction and stored in a CB Field with this kind of code:
Then we use this code in several autoactions to identify the user.
I would like your feedback about whether to continue using this field and this code, or switch to Joomla token API and use the native joomla token.
Could we get the same results with it ? it is worth switching or sticking to CB autoaction for this ? if yes how can I get the userid in an autoaction with the joomla API token ?
Entirely up to you as either should work fine. You'd have to utilize Joomla APIs to verify the token, which I can't advise you on. As for converting it to a user_id they're stored in _user_profiles with the users id so should be easy enough to query for that.

It's because I've no idea what their API is for verifying the token. I don't know if it's documented, but I didn't find anything on the new documentation site below.
I assume there's a simple static class or container class that needs to be called to verify the token as you'd want to verify it before doing anything with it, but I guess you could consider your query a form of verifying it but personally I'd run it through the verification API before even doing that query.
