Good afternoon to all those who read the cho-cho blog! Today we will talk about how to find out the ID of any VKontakte page.

What is an ID

We decided to make a detailed guide that will help answer this question. Each page on VKontakte has an identification number, which is abbreviated as ID. It is assigned when a user registers on a social network. It's like a birth certificate in the virtual space of VK.

If desired, numbers can easily be changed into letters - this is a good option for brands, companies, creative people, as well as for those who do not want to be identified by numbers and have a sonorous nickname. You can use your last name, nickname, or a nice short combination of numbers. Example: Kotenok 1988 looks much more concise and nicer than some id 566599. Aesthetics takes its toll, and most users do just that - they create names and nicknames, identify themselves as living people with their own tastes and preferences.

A beautiful letter id is good. The problem is that many users forget their digital ID because it is not visible. Change the ID once to an alphabetic one and in the top line of the browser there will always be only letters that identify you in VK. This is good, but one day a digital ID may come in handy. But he is not in public view. Our article will help you find digital symbols and, if desired, change them. Why is it needed:

• Since each ID is unique, it is necessary for sorting and saving user information. This is a kind of database that makes it easier for the social network to operate;
• VKontakte ID is needed to recover your password. In case your account is hacked by unscrupulous people, support operators will ask for your ID. Otherwise, the page will not be restored. Tip: attach the ID to your phone number. This way your page will definitely be safe;
• Popular VK applications require it for stable and correct operation. Enter your data only in verified applications. Under no circumstances should you trust services that promise to recognize the guests of your page. In the best case, this will be an application that records not who visited, but who liked or left a message on the page, and you already know about his visit. In the worst case, your page will be hacked and people will send spam from it or ask your friends for money;
• ID reduces the time of searching for VK people. Finding a person by first and last name is difficult, especially if they are common. VK issues a huge number of namesakes. With ID, the process is simplified. Enter it in the address bar, and the desired person is already in the browser;
• The ID is also useful when you create a link to a community or page;
• ID is needed to advertise a community or VKontakte profile. Example: a woman does eyelash extensions and has a working VK page. It creates an advertising banner indicating a digital or alphabetic ID. It is very convenient and effective. The identifier can also be indicated on the cover of a public page or group.

In our review we will talk about how to find the digital identification of an ID and how to change it. This is easy to do, follow the instructions in the manual step by step.

How to find out VKontakte ID

• Method one. We go to the VKontakte page, focusing on the address bar of the browser. The slash ( / ) is followed by the identification number. If the user did not change anything, then this will be his identification number, and if he changed it to a beautiful combination of letters and numbers, then he will have to use other methods;

  

• Method two. It allows you to kill two birds with one stone - find out both the digital identifier and the letter identifier. By clicking on the avatar in the upper right corner, go to the “My Settings” tab. Scrolling down the settings, we find the “Page Address” field. The numeric code on the right is exactly the digital id assigned during VKontakte registration. To avoid forgetting the address, remember or write down these numbers. You may need them in the future - from business negotiations to expanding your circle of acquaintances;

  

When meeting a person, it is much easier to leave him a VK id. If you have a common last name or first name, then finding you through the search is not easy. For this reason, the ID is everything. In order not to forget the ID in numbers, write them down in a notepad. This option is also suitable for video conversations. Example: the interlocutor asks you for your VK page. It is much easier to write your ID on paper and show it on camera than to torment a person with long and tedious searches.

Datalytics

I'm a fan of using APIs to "talk" to everyday services. For example, my article about the Yandex.Metrica API is exactly about this: how to get the necessary data without an interface. Not long ago the idea came to me to use the VKontakte API instead of the usual interface. Why might this be necessary? For example, to read your messages without going to the pages of vk.com, and therefore without appearing online. I have a social phobic trait - I don’t like to appear online on VKontakte, but sometimes messages come there, and it would be nice to be able to read these messages without appearing online.

You can access the API to access user data in 3 steps:

1. Creating an application
2. Obtaining a token to access data on behalf of the user
3. Request to receive incoming messages

The first and second steps need to be done once, and the third step will have to be completed every time you want to read your VKontakte messages.

So, the first step: creating your application for the VKontakte API

.

1 . Go to the page https://vk.com/dev 2. Select “Create an application”

3. Set the name and select the type “Standalone application”, then click “Connect application”

4 . Then you need to confirm the application using an SMS code sent to phone number 5. The application has been created and we are greeted with a page with information about our application

6. Go to the “Settings” page and in the “Status” field select “The application is enabled and visible to everyone”

7. Click “Save changes” 8. Also on this page we will need the application ID (in the red frame in the image below) and the protected key (and in the blue frame in the image below)

Second step: receiving a token

to access data This step must be done while logged into VKontakte under the user whose data you want to access. 1 . We make a request in the browser https://oauth.vk.com/authorize?client_id=5086933&display=page&redirect_uri=https://oauth.vk.com/blank.html&display=page&scope=messages,offline&response_type=code&v=5.37, where client_id is Our application ID from the settings page. The “scope” parameter lists the access rights of our application. In our case, "messages" means that the application will have access to read the user's messages. The “offline” permission gives our application access to user data at any time, and the access will be indefinite. In addition to “messages”, you can set other permissions, which must also be listed separated by commas. For example, the "friends" permission gives access to friends, then scope=messages,friends,offline. All possible resolutions are written here. 2. We will find ourselves on a page where we must allow the created application to access the account:

3. Click “Allow” 4. After this, we will be redirected to a page like https://oauth.vk.com/blank.html#code=ce72f6a9157bef81f6, where the code parameter contains a verification code valid for 1 hour from the moment it is received. Copy this code 5. We make a request in the browser https://oauth.vk.com/access_token?client_id=5086933&client_secret=kQwYLYh12Ar21eJzH3R7&redirect_uri=https://oauth.vk.com/blank.html&code=ce72f6a9157bef81f6, where client_id is the application ID from the settings page, client_sercet is protected key (also from the application settings page), and code is the verification code that we received in the previous paragraph

6. On the page that opens, the access token will be presented in JSON format in the value of the access_token key:

PS: In order for JSON to look as good (“pretty”) in the browser as in my screenshot, you need to set some permission for the browser that allows In addition to the access code, JSON contains the expires_in key, which contains the expiration date of the token (we have 0 there, because . perpetual token) and user_id of the user whose data can be accessed using the received token. We copy the token, we will now need it every time we make a request to the API.

Third and final step: getting a list of incoming messages

A list of all methods for working with the VKontakte API is available at the link, but for now we will only need the messages.get method, with which you can get a list of incoming or outgoing messages. It is quite possible that you will also want to send messages; here you need the messages.send method.

Use the messages.get

extremely simple: We just make a request like https://api.vk.com/method/messages.get?access_token=f73dc057f8d81d96, where access_token is the access token that we received in the second step. We get something like this:

Each object in the response array is a separate message, body is the text of the message, uid is the ID of the user who sent the message, read_state is whether the message is read (1) or unread (0), out is an incoming message (0) or an outgoing message (1 ), date is the date of the message in posix format, mid is the message identifier.

To receive outgoing messages, you need to add the out=1 parameter to the request: https://api.vk.com/method/messages.get?access_token=f73dc057f8d81d96&out=1

Here is a non-trivial way to read your VKontakte messages.

How to find out the VKontakte id of another person

If you really want, you can find out the id of other people. The fastest and easiest method is to look at the line in the browser. But here, as we said above, people convert digital IDs into alphabetic ones. They put their names, nicknames, and other designations. Want to know the numbers? To do this, you need to go to the page of the person whose ID you really want to know. In an empty space, right-click and select “View page code” or “Page source code” from the drop-down menu, it all depends on your browser. After opening the code, open the text search using the key combination “CTRL + F”. We enter “user_id” in the search and find the construction site we need with the user id.

How to find out the ID of photos, videos, posts on the VK wall

In order to find out their number, you need to open the video/photo/post by simply clicking on it and look at the address in the browser.

For example, for the photo https://vk.com/photo279984181_ 352425030 after the word “photo” there is the ID of the user who posted this very content on the social network, but the numbers that come after the “ _ ” symbol (352425030) are unique number.

In the case when there is a hyphen after the word “photo”, as here https://new.vk.com/do_iposle?z=photo-57950162_ 400116475 %2Fwall-57950162_39678, this means that the picture belongs to and was posted by a certain VK community with ID 57950162, and unique photo number - 400116475.

The same scheme applies to all videos and VK posts.

How to find out the numeric id of a VKontakte public or meeting

Life situations are different. Sometimes it happens that you need to find out the ID of a public meeting or group. There are many ways to help you do this, but we will look at the simplest one.

Click on the community avatar. As is the case with a regular user, you will see a digital identifier in the address bar. It will be written after the word photo in the link.

If the group does not have an avatar, then you need to open any post on the community wall. The link will contain the ID you need in the address bar. Instead of writing on the wall, you can use albums or videos.

How to find out VKontakte id from a mobile phone

You can also find out your ID using your smartphone. The principle remains exactly the same, only the implementation will change. The algorithm for viewing an ID from a phone is as follows:

• You need to open the VK social network application;
• Go to the profile of the person you are interested in;
• Click on the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen;
• Next, you will need to copy the link;
• Open any text editor or notes on your phone and click “Insert.” If the value is alphabetic, then open any user photo and press the same “Copy link” button. We paste it again into any editor or notes and save the digital value after “photo”.

What is ID

ID is a unique identifier. The code is assigned to each registered subscriber when creating a profile and is used for further authorizations. All communities, channels, conversations have their own ID.

Channel ID in Telegram.

The system uses a digital code to correctly store or display data and recognize the subscriber.

Thanks to the ID, the messenger “recognizes” the user and shows only his correspondence.

Important! Unlike the username, which can be changed at any time, it is impossible to choose another ID. If you know a person’s “id”, then even when the nickname or name changes, the profile will be easy to find.
