How to decode the SharePoint URL

Question

Hi, I have a document on SharePoint, when I copy the actual URL, it looks like "https://sdcr0.sharepoint.com/sites/SharedSite/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=/sites/SharedSite/Shared Documents/dossiers/222204/A. Controle/Sample Report.pdf&viewid=b3cc5016-e32d-4cd5-809b-6a01fbe4d227&parent=/sites/SharedSite/Shared Documents/dossiers/222204/A. Controle" and when I use "Copy URL" function, then it looks like "https://sdcr0.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/SharedSite/EZ-byBEYvwBGolyOlTcIFCsBMHvkZVh_xKmH41o4D0egmg?e=KqVriA".

I want to extract the details from https://sdcr0.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/SharedSite/EZ-byBEYvwBGolyOlTcIFCsBMHvkZVh_xKmH41o4D0egmg?e=KqVriA" and get the details (specifically id of the document), how can I do it?

Answer 1

There are two types of links for documents.

1.You could get document details through specified URL. To copy the specified URL of the document, select the document -> Details -> Copy the path.

2.When clicking "Copy link", you will get the URL is a sharing link of document. This URL contains users sharing permissions.
