How to find a Steam group and its Group ID (GroupID & groupID64)
Whether you are vetting a community or wiring up a bot, you sometimes need a Steam group’s ID. Here is how to find the group and read its identifiers.
How to find a Steam group
- Search by name in the Steam Community, or paste a Community link such as steamcommunity.com/groups/name or /gid/…
- The SteamTexx Group Search finds groups by name, GroupID, groupID64 or Community link.
GroupID vs groupID64
- GroupID — the short numeric id, for example 4458711.
- groupID64 — the 64-bit form used by the Steam API and /gid/ URLs.
- A group’s custom URL (/groups/name) is a vanity name and can change — the numeric ID does not.
How to get a group’s ID from its URL
If the URL is steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791…, that long number is the groupID64. If it is a custom /groups/name URL, resolve it with the Group Search to reveal the numeric IDs.
Why look up a group
Group membership is a weak trust-context signal, for example membership in known scam- or cheat-associated groups. Read it alongside stronger signals such as bans, account age and other trust indicators.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a Steam group?
Search the Steam Community by name, or paste a Community link or group ID into the SteamTexx Group Search, which resolves groups by name, GroupID, groupID64 or link.
What is a Steam GroupID?
It is the group’s numeric identifier. The short form is the GroupID; the 64-bit form (groupID64) is used in the API and /gid/ URLs. Unlike the custom group URL, the numeric ID does not change.
How do I find a group’s ID from its URL?
If the URL contains /gid/103582791…, that number is the groupID64. For a custom /groups/name URL, resolve it with the Group Search to get the numeric IDs.
Can I search Steam groups by name?
Yes. The SteamTexx Group Search accepts a name, a GroupID/groupID64 or a Community link.
Why check what groups a Steam profile is in?
Membership in scam- or cheat-associated groups is a weak context signal. It never proves anything alone — combine it with bans, account age and other trust signals.
