Steam ID Formats: The Complete Guide

Every Steam account can be identified in multiple ways. Here is every format SteamIDBot accepts — and where to find each one.

SteamID64

76561197960287930

The 17-digit numeric ID. This is Steam's internal identifier — every Steam account has one and it never changes. Most reliable format for lookups.

📍Where to find it: Find it in your Steam profile URL: steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960287930. Also available in account settings.

SteamID (Steam2)

STEAM_0:0:11101

The legacy format from older Valve games like CS 1.6. Starts with STEAM_ and contains three parts: universe, auth server, and account number.

📍Where to find it: Older game servers and Source engine games show this format in console. Type 'status' in CS2 console to see player Steam2 IDs.

SteamID3

[U:1:22202]

A newer, more compact format. Uses brackets with U for individual accounts. The number after the colon is derived from the SteamID64.

📍Where to find it: Some game servers and third-party tools use this format. Can be converted from SteamID64: (SteamID64 - 76561197960265728) / 2.

Vanity / Custom URL

gabelogannewell

A custom URL name chosen by the user. Shown in the Steam Community profile link as steamcommunity.com/id/NAME. Case-insensitive and can change over time.

📍Where to find it: Set in Steam profile settings. Look at someone's profile URL — if it has /id/NAME, that's their vanity name.

Full Profile URL

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960287930

The full Steam Community profile page URL. SteamIDBot can parse the ID right out of the URL — just paste the whole thing.

📍Where to find it: Copy from browser address bar when viewing any Steam profile.

Custom URL (full)

https://steamcommunity.com/id/gabelogannewell

Same as above but uses a custom/vanity URL instead of the numeric SteamID64.

📍Where to find it: Copy from browser when viewing a profile that uses a custom URL.

Friends/Add URL

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960287930/friends/add

The URL generated when you click 'Add Friend' on a Steam profile. SteamIDBot can extract the profile ID from this URL too.

📍Where to find it: Click 'Add Friend' on someone's profile, then copy the URL.
