How to get SharePoint document library ID?

Posted on May 27, 2020January 23, 2022 by Tom

“Take the SharePoint document library id from the url“ is the most common answer, but from where exactly and how?”


Go to Library settings and copy/paste the url from browser into a text file. It is in the url behind the List= starting with %7B and ending with %7D, here’s an example:

https://<my>.sharepoint.com/sites/<my_site>/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=%7B1ff350c6-80b7-4454-bfa7-5cb662665c64%7D

Remove the %7B (ASCII code for character { )and %7D (ASCII code for character } ) and you get the library ID, in the example above the library ID is:

1ff350c6-80b7-4454-bfa7-5cb662665c64

Hello and welcome!

My name is Tom and I'm a business process automation consultant and Microsoft MVP living in the Czech Republic. I’ve been working with Microsoft technologies for almost 10 years, currently using mainly Power Automate, SharePoint, Teams, and the other M365 tools.

I believe that everyone can automate part of their work with the Power Automate platform. You can achieve a lot by "clicking" the flows in the designer, but you can achieve much more if you add a bit of coding knowledge. And that's what this blog is about.

To make the step from no-code Power Automate flows to low-code flows: using basic coding knowledge to build more complex yet more efficient flows to automate more of your daily tasks.
