Find table ID

Each table in NocoDB has a unique ID (prefixed with m, short for model) that identifies it within a base.

You can find the table ID in the URL when viewing a table.

Example:

https://app.nocodb.com/#/wqd7e84kkpg8169/pqh6trao813gar7/mxo5v3uj1l1xjpz

In this example, the table ID is: mxo5v3uj1l1xjpz

You can also copy the table ID by clicking the ... (ellipsis) next to the table name and selecting Copy Table ID.

Usage: Table IDs are commonly used in API calls, scripting, and integrations where you need to reference a specific table.
