NinjaCat Platform Direct Identifiers (System IDs)

On the backend of the NinjaCat Platform, every defined object (e.g. Agency, Datasource Network, Account, Advertiser Datasource), has a numeric system identifier or “ID”. There are different reasons that NinjaCat team members or clients may want to know and use these numeric IDs. This article provides steps to find each of these IDs in the system.

Individual Managed Datasource Properties

NinjaNote: For most major data providers, the bulk of your individual clients' data will be grouped under a single set of credentials or "manager account". The power of the "Download Account List CSV" feature in NinjaCat lies in the fact that only a single one of the individual clients from a group needs to be set up and connected to a NinjaCat Account. The report you download using the following steps will contain the identification information for all of the other accounts under the same "manager account". Whether they are set up in NinjaCat or not.

If the NinjaCat Client you are researching is an already set up, established, working instance:

  1. After logging in, click on the desired advertiser account from the list

  2. Click on the desired data source in the data source card

  3. Click on “Download Account List CSV” in the top right

  4. The resulting downloaded report will contain the names and NinjaCat System IDs of all the individual properties managed in the desired data network
