About IDInfo
Free, fast and privacy-respecting lookup of permanent numeric user IDs from any public social media profile URL — no API keys, no logins, public data only.
What IDInfo does
Paste any public social media profile URL — IDInfo detects the platform and returns the underlying numeric user ID, the profile picture, and a few public stats. The tool covers eight platforms today and is built so a permanent ID is always one paste away, even if the visible @handle changes later.
- Auto-detects the platform from the URL — Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Telegram.
- Resolves the underlying numeric user ID using public sources only.
- Returns the profile avatar, display name, follower count and public bio.
- Generates an indexable, SEO-friendly profile page for every successful lookup.
- Available as a Telegram bot and a Firefox add-on — see the Products page.
Key features
How IDInfo works
IDInfo uses a private, platform-aware resolver system to identify stable numeric IDs from public profile information. The exact resolution methods are part of IDInfo's internal technology and are not published.
For visitors, the flow stays simple: paste a public profile URL, let IDInfo validate the account, and get the permanent ID when it is available. We never ask you to log in, never access private data, and never bypass any platform's login wall.
Who is this for?
- Developers who need stable user IDs for API integrations, tests or webhooks.
- SEO & marketing teams verifying social-media profiles before campaigns.
- Researchers studying public social-media data with a stable reference key.
- Anyone curious about the numeric ID that survives an @handle rename.
Open & transparent
All data IDInfo displays is already publicly visible on the source platforms. We don’t collect personal information from visitors beyond what is strictly necessary for rate-limiting and abuse prevention. Read the full details in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
