Hi, I think it would make it easier for admins to edit data explorer queries if it was easier to find Category and Group IDs. If this information was made visible to accounts with admin status it wouldn’t bother most people while making it simple to find for those who need access.
Alternatively, in the meantime, if there are already easy ways to find Category and Group IDs, I’m eager to learn how to find this information.
Bumping this topic because I had the same question. For categories, it’s relatively easy to look at the URL:
https://meta.discourse.org/c/announcements/67
^^
But I can’t find anything like that for groups. An ideal location for that would be on the group profile page (/g/[group_name]/manage/profile) somewhere. It’s not a huge problem of course (Data Explorer is my security blanket), but it is an annoyance when working with the API.
