What is the best way to findout the Share Point Site ID and the Resource ID?

Question

With reference to the above question, i have seen answers provided in different blogs, websites that we shall go to Settings, Site Information and we can find this information in the Site URL field etc., which is not the case. I would request the concerned Share Point experts kindly answer this question.

Thanks

Answer 1

Dear SGTPrasad,

Good day!!

As per the description shared, I understand your concern and to my knowledge, we can get the GUID of the SharePoint Online site via adding the following _api/site/idat the end of the Site URL:

https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/_api/site/id

For example: Moreover, I found an article that provides three other methods such as PowerShell, Power Automate, Microsoft Graph API and here is the reference: 4 Ways to Check SharePoint Site ID - Power Tech Tips

However, if you are looking for an alternative way, as there is no out of the box solution, I request you to connect with the SharePoint Development experts via posting your concern in the SharePoint Developer - Microsoft Community Hub & Questions - Microsoft Q&A with SharePoint Development tag to get the opinions from the experts.

In addition, I will keep this thread open so that MVPs and experts in this community will share the ideas on your concern.

Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

Best Regards,

Sophia

Dear SGTPrasad,

Thanks for writing back and updating with us.

As per the further updates, I have done more research from my end about the resource id but I am not able to find any source or any related Microsoft article.

So, I request you to connect with the SharePoint Development experts by posting in the above communities mentioned to get any information about resource id.

Our sincere apologies for not sharing any information related to Resource ID.

Appreciate your patience with us and have a wonderful day!!

Also looking for this. Seems very hard to find.

Answer 5

I used this method so that I can use the sharepoint GUID in Graph API https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/:site/drives. It was not fetching the details with the GUID.

After research I found below two ways which gave me multiple Site IDs:

Option 1: Graph API https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/domain.sharepoint.com:/sites/Demosite This pull two Site ID. First one was working second was not working. In XML it will always return the second one which was not working and misleading.

"id": "domain.sharepoint.com,55981a-91aa-4d9f-ad6f-fecdab410b96,a2679e13-5892-4fa5-a236-50c3334485",

Option 2 page source

Open the page source and search for "siteId" with quotes.
