# Identify a Visual's sourceID

> You can identify the ID of the data source used for a visual.

You can identify a Self-Service Analytics visual's `sourceID` while working with it. For example, to programmatically identify a visual's default settings using a REST API call, it is easiest to use the `sourceID` in the call to look at its source configuration.

**To identify the `sourceID` of a visual's source:**

1. Open the visual in its dashboard.

2. Find the number at the end of the URL in the address bar of your browser. The `sourceID` is the section of the number before the plus sign (+).

After you have identified the `sourceID` of a visual, you can use it in other steps such as calling REST API methods.
