How Do I Find My Squarespace ID?

Finding your Squarespace ID is essential for various reasons, such as integrating third-party services, customizing code, or seeking support. The process is straightforward but may vary slightly depending on the context in which you need the ID (e.g., for a specific page, block, or collection). Here are detailed steps to locate different types of Squarespace IDs:

Finding Your Squarespace Site ID

1. Login to Your Squarespace Account:

2. Go to Squarespace.com and log in with your credentials.

3. Access Your Site Settings:

4. From the main dashboard, select the site for which you want to find the ID.

5. Click on "Settings" from the left-hand menu.

6. Retrieve the Site ID:

7. In the “Settings” menu, look for "Advanced" settings.
8. Once in "Advanced," select "API Keys."
9. Your Site ID will be listed on this page, typically below any existing API keys.

Finding Your Squarespace Page ID

1. Navigate to Your Site:

2. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the website section where you manage pages.

3. Open Page Settings:

4. Click on the “Pages” section from the left-hand menu.

5. Hover over the desired page and click on the gear icon (or "Settings") that appears.

6. Inspect the Page URL:

7. Copy the page URL from your browser's address bar. It should look something like this: https://your-site.squarespace.com/config/pages/5ae1234567890cdef0123456.
8. The series of alphanumeric characters at the end of the URL (5ae1234567890cdef0123456) is your Page ID.

Finding Block ID (If Needed)

1. Edit Your Page Content:

2. Navigate to the content editor of the page containing the block you need the ID for.

3. Enter Developer Mode (If Required):

4. If you have access to Developer Mode, enable it from the "Advanced" settings.

5. Inspect Element via Browser Tools:

6. Right-click on the block and select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" from the context menu.
7. The browser’s developer tools will open, highlighting the HTML code for the block.
8. Look for an element with an id attribute that looks similar to block-xxxxx or from other identifying features within the Squarespace platform. xxxxx is your Block ID.

Considerations and Limitations

• Permissions: Ensure you have administrative or appropriate editorial access to view and edit settings.
• Browser Tools: Familiarity with browser developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools, Firefox Developer Tools) is helpful for locating Block IDs and Page IDs.
• Support: If you're unable to find the relevant ID using these methods, contacting Squarespace Support can provide guidance tailored to your specific needs.

By following the steps outlined, you can easily locate various types of IDs within your Squarespace site, enabling better integration with third-party tools and customizations.
