# Find a Cloud Account or Team ID using our API

## Overview{% #overview %}

Currently, the Cloudcraft UI doesn't expose the ID of your AWS or Azure accounts or teams. However, you can still find these IDs using our API and a bit of manual work.

## Prerequisites{% #prerequisites %}

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

- A Cloudcraft user with the [Owner or Administrator role](https://help.cloudcraft.co/article/85-roles-and-permissions).
- A [Cloudcraft Pro subscription](https://www.cloudcraft.co/pricing).
- A Unix-like environment, such as Linux, macOS, or WSL on Windows with cURL and [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) installed.
- A basic understanding of the command-line interface.
- A basic understanding of how to use APIs.

You must also have at least one AWS or Azure account added to Cloudcraft.

## Finding the cloud account ID{% #finding-the-cloud-account-id %}

Finding the ID of your AWS or Azure account is easy; you can do it by making a single API call.

To find the ID of your cloud account, run the following command:

```shell
curl \
  --url 'https://api.cloudcraft.co/PROVIDER/account' \
  --tlsv1.2 \
  --proto '=https' \
  --compressed \
  --silent \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY" | jq .
```

Replace `PROVIDER` with `aws` or `azure` and `API_KEY` with your Cloudcraft API key.

The response should look something like this for AWS:

In the `cloudcraft-aws-response.json` file:

```json
{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "id": "8bfc6773-7fa2-49b3-8016-5e0e9a2e2aff",
      "name": "Development",
      "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::600111810075:role/cloudcraft",
      "externalId": "93cf2e38-742a-4321-bcee-1d8b8fe35b8b",
      "readAccess": null,
      "writeAccess": null,
      "createdAt": "2024-02-21T15:19:26.232Z",
      "updatedAt": "2024-02-21T15:19:26.701Z",
      "CreatorId": "f179a0f9-ebf6-4a6a-afd8-74d608498a1f",
      "source": "aws"
    }
  ]
}
```

And something like this for Azure:

In the `cloudcraft-azure-response.json` file:

```json
{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "id": "e18da22b-330d-4091-bb57-c46654df5351",
      "name": "Development",
      "applicationId": "598c6f24-c2e2-4870-88bd-d42fe6f5c998",
      "directoryId": "c6444a86-1cfe-4312-add5-61e2c140648b",
      "subscriptionId": "74efa8fe-0997-49b0-963d-ea88bf80fe11",
      "readAccess": null,
      "writeAccess": null,
      "createdAt": "2023-11-20T22:11:43.688Z",
      "updatedAt": "2023-11-20T22:11:43.688Z",
      "CreatorId": "2d95eeb8-7161-48f8-88e4-8f0d6bb7b47f",
      "hint": "9NP",
      "source": "azure"
    }
  ]
}
```

The `id` field contains the ID of your cloud account.

## Finding the team ID{% #finding-the-team-id %}

Cloudcraft doesn't expose the team ID in the UI or through a simple API call. However, you can still find the team ID by using the Cloudcraft UI in combination with the API.

To find the ID of your team, follow these steps:

1. Open the Cloudcraft UI and create a new empty blueprint.
1. Click the Share & Export button in the top-right corner.
1. Under Share with a team..., click the field and select the team or teams you want to get the ID for.

{% video
   url="https://docs.dd-static.net/images/cloudcraft/advanced/find-id-using-api/share-with-team.mp4" /%}

Copy the ID of the blueprint from the URL. The ID is the part of the URL that comes after `blueprint/`.

Switch to the terminal and run the following command:

```shell
curl \
  --url 'https://api.cloudcraft.co/blueprint/ID' \
  --tlsv1.2 \
  --proto '=https' \
  --compressed \
  --silent \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY" | jq '.readAccess'
```

Replace `ID` with the ID of the blueprint you created and `API_KEY` with your Cloudcraft API key.

The response should look something like this:

In the `cloudcraft-blueprint-response.json` file:

```json
[
  "team/9e7e8b46-cfb7-486e-ade5-bd8c1ec1971a",
  "team/af6b55f1-f604-4b88-8b4f-c4779cb7a799"
]
```

The UUID after `team/` is the ID of your team.
