URL to API ID
function urlToApiId(urlId: number, prefix: string): string {
return `${prefix}${urlId.toString(36)}`
}
// Example: Inbox 7256583 → inb_4bj7r
urlToApiId(7256583, 'inb_') // => "inb_4bj7r"
API ID to URL
function apiIdToUrl(apiId: string): number {
const base36 = apiId.split('_')[1]
return parseInt(base36, 36)
}
// Example: inb_4bj7r → 7256583
apiIdToUrl('inb_4bj7r') // => 7256583
Quick Bash Conversion
# URL ID to API ID (requires node)
node -e "console.log('inb_' + (7256583).toString(36))"
# API ID to URL ID
node -e "console.log(parseInt('4bj7r', 36))"
Common Use Cases
From Front URL
Given: https://app.frontapp.com/inboxes/teams/folders/7256583/unassigned/120537545061
- Inbox ID:
7256583→inb_4bj7r - Conversation ID:
120537545061→cnv_1z2x3y4z(calculate as needed)
Validating API Responses
When Front API returns an ID like inb_4bj7r, you can verify it matches the expected inbox by converting back to the URL ID.
