Extract Id from Twitch Clip URL

How can I extract the Id of a Twitch Clip URL.

Example:

https://clips.twitch.tv/KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll?some=1


I need only the Id part, for example: https://clips.twitch.tv/[ID]?v=1

https://clips.twitch.tv/[ID]?v=1

The Id in the top example is KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll. Any query string if comes after should be ignored and not be part of the Id.

KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll

I tried:

MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(url, @"^(https://clips.twitch.tv/)(?:(?!http).)*?");


But I wasn't able to capture the Id in a group. I am using ASP.NET and C#.

(?<=twitch.tv/)(w*)(?=?)

No need for Regex:

string str = "https://clips.twitch.tv/KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll?some=1";
string id = str.Split('/', '?')[3];
