After registering on VKontakte, each user receives a unique number - id. We will use it for many operations - searching for a person, viewing his photos and videos (see), and much more.
How do we find out the id of a specific user on VK?

In the first option - a digital value. In the second - the user's nickname, which he set up for his page.
How to find out page id on VK
We go to the page to the right person. When it is open, pay attention to the address bar of the browser. There will be a slash after the link “vk.com”. And after it the user id, in the version in which he configured it.
In this version everything is simple. It is enough to copy the numbers after “id”. This will be the desired value.
It’s a little more complicated if a person has set up a nickname - a letter name for a link to his page. You can see an example below.
Of course you can copy the nickname. But for most operations it is not suitable. You need to know exactly the numeric id.
To get it, let's use a little trick. Click on the user's main photo (see). When it opens for viewing, again pay attention to the address bar. This time we will see the following there.
Https://vk.com/alinkafrolowa2000?z=photo226111938_410357713%2Falbum226111938_0%2Frev
Here we are interested in the numbers after the text “z=photo...”. The id will be indicated instead of the ellipsis given user in VK. In our example it is "226111938".
How to change VKontakte id
To do this, go to the “My Settings” section. Here we are looking for an item “Your page address”.
Here in the field "Page address", enter the nickname you want to use.
Good afternoon, friends. Today we will talk about how to find out the page ID in VK and find out what it is, what it is needed for and where it is used.
VKontakte page ID is a unique identifying number for each user registered in social network. All communities, public pages, as well as photographs and videos in groups and on people’s pages also have an ID. Simply put, this is the address of a certain amount of information on the VKontakte social network.
Why do you need a VK page ID?
Before we find out, let’s try to figure out why this very VKontakte ID is needed:
How to find out the user page ID on VKontakte
This is not difficult to do. You can view it in the address bar of your browser by going to the page of the user we need on VK:
The numbers that are written after vk.com/id are what we need.
But sometimes it happens that the ID is hidden, and the link uses human-readable text (for example, I use the text sergey_vkazi:
https://vk.com/sergey_vkazi
When VK added the option to change numbers in the URL to text, most people took advantage of the convenient innovation and brought the addresses of pages on the social network into a human-readable form. But where then see user id? This can be done by going to some sections of your account, like:
1. Page with an avatar. To do this, click on and look in the address bar of your browser. Numbers behind the word "album" to the bottom space character (“_”) is what we need. In my case it is 454881889.
2. Since the avatar is in a photo album, the id can be determined by going to the albums or selecting any photo in it. This is how it looks in the albums section (after albums):
... and on each page (after photo):
3. You can also find out the number by going to your videos and selecting the “My Videos” tab. Then in the browser line we will see a link where what we are looking for is located immediately after videos:
Likewise on the page with the video itself (behind the word videos).
Also in audio recordings it is in the URL behind the word audios.
4. Determine VK user ID you can on any news, left by the user. To do this, you need to go to the entry itself. It is written twice - after the word id And wall.
5. And the last way - via “Messages”. Let's say we want to write to someone. We go to the section, through the search we find the person we need and select him. Further, according to the old scheme - look at the link in the address bar of the browser - what we are looking for is located after /im?sel=
If the identifier is hidden, then you can find it in almost any section of your VKontakte account. If suddenly there are a lot of numbers in the link and you are in doubt, check in several ways described above to finally make sure that they match everywhere.
How to find out your ID in VK
You can find out your ID in VK (if it is hidden) using any of the above methods. Or go to . Select the “General” tab, “Page Address” item. Here you need to click “Change”.
A pop-up message will appear that “you can change the short address of your page to a more convenient one,” and your real id will be displayed under the line.
How to find out the ID of a group or public page on VKontakte
For a group or public page The VKontakte number looks like this:
- for the community: vk.com/club134454330
- for public: vk.com/public38114090
Unlike man, where the letters id were placed in front of the number, here it is written club And public.
Using the methods described above, you can calculate the ID of any community or public page on VKontakte (if it is hidden).
The same is defined for an event or event. Only it looks like https://vk.com/event160558565
How to change VKontakte ID
Actually, you won’t be able to change the ID itself. It is assigned when creating a profile and remains unchanged forever, until the account is deleted. It is allowed to change only human-readable text that replaces numbers. To do this, again go to the settings, the “General” tab, the “Page Address” item and select “Edit”.
I wrote the text sergey_vkazi. I can change it to another (not occupied by others) word or phrase, using Latin letters, numbers or underscores “_”. If someone already has a similar one, then you will be warned that the URL of the VK page is occupied by someone else.
You should come up with a unique text and click on the “Occupy address” button if you decide to change the URL, or “Cancel” if you change your mind about taking this action.
In the next article we will find out.
Good day, dear friends. Today we will find out the identifier of various pages on the social network VKontakte (id). After all, as you know, each VK page, be it a group or a person’s personal page, is assigned a unique number. Now we will figure out how to recognize it.
How to find out a person's ID quickly
The fact is that by default, as soon as a person creates his own page and does not change anything throughout the entire time he is on the social network, without assigning any nicknames to himself, his ID can be seen in the address bar of the browser, at the end of the address itself. Look carefully at the screenshot and you will understand everything:
If instead of id you see some nickname in the address bar of your browser, then you won’t be able to find out the identifier this way. In this regard, we move on to the next method.
Find out the id of a friend or another VK user. Method 2.
We go to the user’s page, look at his wall and click on the “All posts” link:
All page entries should have opened in a new tab. Now look at the address bar of the browser. At the very end of the address is the word wall, and immediately after it is the page identifier. This is exactly what we needed:
Another way to find out the ID is to click not on the wall, but on the photos, so that all the albums are displayed and loaded in a separate tab:
Now look at the address bar of the browser. First comes the user's nickname, and then after the word albums his id is displayed:
How to find out your id
All of the above methods are suitable for your own page, but there is one more that I would like to show you for general development.
Click on the menu in the upper right corner and select “Settings” from the drop-down list:
In the settings we find the page address and opposite it click on the “Change” button:
We have several text fields expanding. We are interested in the “Page Number” field, because this is our identifier:
So, we figured out the user pages. Let's now move on to groups.
VKontakte group id
In principle, the approach here is exactly the same as with pages. On the main page of the group we need to find some element and click on it. These can be posts on the community wall or discussions:
Today we will talk about how to find out the ID of any VKontakte page.
For those who don't know:
VKontakte page ID - this is a unique identification number of any account registered on a social network,as well as public pages, groups, posts and even photographs with videos in it.
“ID” is always assigned when creating something on VKontakte. It cannot be changed - except perhaps by changing the page address to a “human-understandable” one, for example, vk.com/smeshnye.kotiki. However, in this case, the page ID does not change, it is only made hidden.
Here's what the different VKontakte identifiers look like:
- user profile - vk.com/ id 78563931
- public - vk.com/ public 13675315
- group - vk.com/ club 2505625
- meeting - vk.com/ event 4552624
Where the numbers are at the end - this is the ID.
The easiest way to find out a friend's id is to open the desired account in the browser and look at the address bar, more precisely, at the numbers that come after https://vk.com/id…
However, it happens that the ID turns out to be hidden because the person managed to change the address of his page in the settings to a short one that is convenient for him - for example, “ meowmeow1" instead of the usual numbers.
What to do in this case?
Option one: LinkApp app
Option two: avatar
Click on the profile avatar of the person you want and again pay attention to the address bar. The numbers that are between the word “photo” and the symbol “_” are the number you are looking for.
Option three: wall
If you can look at posts on the user’s wall and they are there, click on the date of any post and between the word “wall” and “_” there will be the user ID you need.
Option four: messages
If you click “send message” to the person you need, then when you open a dialogue with the user, the view will look like this:
https://vk.com/im?sel=295772019 or, for example, this:
The last digits are the “id”.
How to find out your ID in VK
All of the above methods will work, and one more is added to them.
- go to the “Settings” menu of your page;
- there, go to the “General” tab;
- scroll down the page to the “Page Address” item;
- if you already have a short address, just click on it - you will be prompted to change it, and at the same time they will show the line “Page number - such and such.”
How to find out the ID of a group, public or meeting on VKontakte
Here you can also immediately find out the “ID” from address bar, or again stumble upon a “beautiful” address - instead of vk.com/club106559582, where the last digits are the number you are looking for, you will see
