# How to find IDs

You may need to find the ID of specific CircleCI elements to perform various actions, including:

*   Making a request to the CircleCI API.
    
*   Running a command from the local CircleCI CLI.
    
*   Identifying a CircleCI element in logs or webhook payloads.
    

This guide covers finding IDs in the CircleCI web app, or from environment variables. It is also possible to find IDs via the [CircleCI APIs](https://circleci.com/docs/reference/api-homepage/).

## Get IDs from the built-in environment variables

[Built-In Environment Variables](https://circleci.com/docs/reference/variables/#built-in-environment-variables), scoped at the job level, include the following IDs:

*   `CIRCLE_ORGANIZATION_ID`: The organization ID.
    
*   `CIRCLE_PROJECT_ID`: The project ID.
    
*   `CIRCLE_PIPELINE_ID`: The pipeline ID.
    
*   `CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_ID`: The workflow ID.
    
*   `CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_JOB_ID`: The job ID.
    

To view all environment variables available at the job level, follow these steps:

1.  In the [CircleCI web app](https://app.circleci.com), select your org from the org cards on your user homepage.
    
2.  Select **Pipelines** from the sidebar and locate your pipeline from the list. You can use the project, branch, date, and status search options to help.
    
3.  Select the job you want to access by selecting the job name.
    
4.  On the job page, expand the **Preparing environment variables** step.
    
5.  Locate the relevant environment variable(s) and note the associated value(s).
