Finding Unique IDs for Docebo Assets

When using Docebo’s API endpoints or searching the Audit Trail, you often need unique IDs for users, courses, and other platform assets. Having access to these IDs can allow you to retrieve, post, and update data via API endpoints. They can even help you retrieve Audit Trail data on a user no matter how many username changes they’ve gone through. These IDs can be really convenient!

What’s less convenient is that unique IDs are rarely obvious if you don’t know how to find them. The goal of this guide is to show you how to find some of the most commonly used unique IDs and provide inspiration when you search for unique IDs on your own.

Below are some quick ways to retrieve IDs directly within your platform.
