Management console
CLI
API

You can get the folder ID from the dashboard or the Folder information tab.

Getting the ID on the dashboard

  1. In the management console, click in the top panel and select the folder.

  2. You will find the folder ID at the top, below the folder name. To copy the ID, hover over it and click .

    ID location

    folder-dashboard-id

Getting ID on the Folder information tab

  1. In the management console, click in the top panel and select the folder.

  2. To the right of the folder name, click and select Folder information.

  3. In the window that opens, you will find the folder ID in the Folder ID field. To copy the ID, hover over it and click .

    ID location

    folder-info-menu

    folder-info-id

You can also get the folder ID from the folder page URL in the management console:

https://console.yandex.cloud/folders/<folder_ID>

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

If you know the folder name, get its ID using the get command:

yc resource-manager folder get my-folder

Result:

id: b1gd129pp9ha********
...

If you don't, get a list of folders with IDs for the default cloud:

yc resource-manager folder list

Result:

+----------------------+--------------------+------------------+--------+
|          ID          |        NAME        |      LABELS      | STATUS |
+----------------------+--------------------+------------------+--------+
| b1gd129pp9ha******** | my-folder          |                  | ACTIVE |
| b1g66mft1vop******** | default            |                  | ACTIVE |
+----------------------+--------------------+------------------+--------+

To view the list of folders in a different cloud, specify the folder ID in cloud-id:

yc resource-manager folder list --cloud-id b1glku4lgd6g********

To get the list of folders with IDs, use the list REST API method for the Folder resource or the FolderService/List gRPC API call.
