ID Extractor
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Extract IDs from Google Maps (CID) and YouTube (video, channel, playlist, handle).
ID Extractor instantly reveals the hidden unique identifiers behind Google Maps places and YouTube content—IDs that are normally buried in page source code or complex URLs.
Why install it?
- Create permanent Google Maps links — Business names change, but CIDs (Customer IDs) don't. Extract the CID to build stable google.com/maps?cid=... links that won't break when a business rebrands.
- Contribute to Wikidata — Quickly grab CIDs to populate the https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3749 without digging through page source.
- Extract YouTube IDs in one click — Get video IDs, channel IDs, @handles, and playlist IDs without parsing messy URLs. Perfect for developers, researchers, and anyone building tools around YouTube content.
- Copy-ready formats — Copies both the raw ID and a shareable URL to your clipboard with a single click.
The extension uses minimal permissions (only accesses the current tab when you click it) and works entirely offline—no data is sent anywhere.
