# Find an environment ID

How to find a Snyk cloud environment ID

Certain actions, such as updating or deleting an environment using the Snyk API, require the environment ID.

To find the ID of an environment, you can use the following methods:

* [Web UI](#web-ui)
* [API](#api)

## Web UI

To find an environment ID using the [Web UI](https://app.snyk.io/):

1. Navigate to your Organization **Settings** > **Cloud environments**.
2. In the **Actions** column, select the three dots for the desired environment.
3. Select **Update**.

4. In the **Environment ID** section, select **Copy** to copy the environment ID.

## API

To find an environment ID using the API, send a request to the [`/cloud/environments`](https://apidocs.snyk.io/#get-/orgs/-org_id-/cloud/environments) endpoint in the following format:

```
curl -X GET \
  'https://api.snyk.io/rest/orgs/YOUR-ORGANIZATION-ID/cloud/environments?version=2022-12-21~beta' \
  -H 'Authorization: token YOUR-API-TOKEN'
```

In the output, look for the `data.id` property of the desired environment. In the shortened example that follows, the ID is `3b7ccff9-8900-4e54-0000-1234abcd1234`:

```
{
  "jsonapi": {
    "version": "1.0"
  },
  "data": {
    "id": "3b7ccff9-8900-4e54-0000-1234abcd1234",
    <trimmed for length>
  }
}
```

## Filtering environments

You can filter the list of environments using query parameters to make it easier to find a particular environment. For example, you can add `kind=google` to the API request to return only Google Cloud environments:

```
curl -X GET \
  'https://api.snyk.io/rest/orgs/YOUR-ORGANIZATION-ID/cloud/environments?kind=google&version=2022-12-21~beta' \
  -H 'Authorization: token YOUR-API-TOKEN'
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/getting-started-with-cloud-scans/manage-cloud-environments/find-an-environment-id.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
