How do I find my collective's Public ID

Update: I've confirmed the ID isn't actually required; slug is sufficient. It still would be good to know how to find it, though.

Feeling dense asking this; it seems to be such an obvious thing that I can't find any mention of it anywhere online 😅

Where can I find my collective's public ID? According to the API Docs, Account has an attribute of ID and AFAIK it's needed to query an account properly. I'm actually looking to find the account ID of a project within the collective; I assume they're the same?

Your answer is right, in most cases (all), you don't need to know the id and can just query with the slug. This is the way to go.

If you need to know the id from a slug, you first query the account (with the slug) and ask for the id.

query {
  account(slug: "backyourstack") {
    id
  }
}

Brilliant, thank you ☺
