GetSpellCooldown() work with SpellIDs?

I know it says it does on WoWWiki, but when I was testing this out:

Code:

GetSpellCooldown(28734)

it returned nil, however

Code:

GetSpellCooldown("Mana Tap")

worked just fine. Can anyone verify this please?

Make sure the spellID is valid. The API call can accept Spell Name or spellID.

Mana tap's spell ID is 28734, hence his question. I can confirm this behavior.

EDIT: After review, GetSpellCooldown does not take a spell ID. It takes a slot ID. Check the slot ID of Mana Tap. If you must go by ID, I recommend using GetSpellInfo() to get its name, then proceed to pass the name to GetSpellCooldown:

Code:

GetSpellCooldown((GetSpellInfo(28734)))

Note the extra parentheses are intentional and required for proper operation.

EDIT2: You beat me

Yup I finally figured this out after A LOT of testing.

I ended up just using

Code:

local name = GetSpellInfo(28730)
local start, duration, enable = GetSpellCooldown(name)

and that does the trick.
