Find your Space ID

Space IDs are passed as an input parameter on each space-scoped CMS action call
(entries, assets, content types). For webhook event delivery, enter one or more
space IDs in the Webhook Space IDs field (comma-separated).

1

Open Space General settings

From inside any space, click the Settings gear icon in the top-right navigation bar
and select General settings under the Space settings section.

  • Click the Settings menu (gear icon, top-right of the space navigation bar).
  • Under Space settings, click General settings.
  • Copy the value shown in the Space ID field. It is a 12-character alphanumeric string (e.g., abc123xyz789). Use this value as the space_id input when calling CMS actions, or paste it into Webhook Space IDs for webhook event delivery.
