How to do I locate a Google SpreadSheet ID?

Question

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/api#parameter_and_return_types

When using the Google Execution Api for Java, the ID of the spreadsheet isn't very easy to understand. Here is the code snippet:

// Initialize parameters for that function. String sheetId = "<ENTER_ID_OF_SPREADSHEET_TO_EXAMINE_HERE>"; List<Object> params = new ArrayList<Object>(); params.add(sheetId); 

Any Ideas on how to locate this. I run the Sheets api to return the id of a SpreadSheet but it returns a link, and when I use the https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/STRING or just the STRING itself I still get: "code" : 404, "errors" : [ { "domain" : "global", "message" : "Requested entity was not found.", "reason" : "notFound"

Answer 1

Found this deep inside the Apps Script API reference.

A spreadsheet ID can be extracted from its URL. For example, the spreadsheet ID in the URL https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc1234567/edit#gid=0 is "abc1234567".

Answer 2

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/guides/concepts

states that:

Every API method requires a spreadsheetId parameter which is used to identify which spreadsheet is to be accessed or altered. This ID is the value between the "/d/" and the "/edit" in the URL of your spreadsheet. For example, consider the following URL that references a Google Sheets spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qpyC0XzvTcKT6EISywvqESX3A0MwQoFDE8p-Bll4hps/edit#gid=0 

The ID of this spreadsheet is 1qpyC0XzvTcKT6EISywvqESX3A0MwQoFDE8p-Bll4hps.

So I just pulled up my spreadsheet and looked at the URL to find my ID.

Hope this helps!
