How to Find Github ID

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to locate any user's GitHub ID via the API.

Quick summary

Finding a GitHub ID requires navigating to the target user's profile and querying the GitHub API at api.github.com to retrieve the unique numerical identifier. This method works for any public GitHub user and returns the ID instantly without any authentication.


Steps

  1. Go to the target user's GitHub account page.
  2. Use the search bar at the top of the GitHub homepage and find the GitHub ID by querying the GitHub API via api.github.com.
  3. Locate the numerical ID returned in the API response — for example, 174875606 is the ID for the user PMC2024.
  4. By following these steps, you can find any user's GitHub ID using api.github.com.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to retrieve a GitHub user ID programmatically is essential for developers and teams that integrate GitHub data into their workflows, CI/CD pipelines, or third-party tools. The GitHub API exposes a stable, unique numerical ID for every user that remains constant even if a username changes, making it the most reliable identifier for user-level automation. Using api.github.com to look up this ID takes only seconds and requires no authentication for public profiles, lowering the barrier for quick lookups. This skill is a foundational step for anyone building integrations, access controls, or analytics on top of the GitHub platform.
