How to Find FeedBurner ID Number

Since FeedBurner was acquired by Google, you can log in using your Google account.

FeedBurner was launched in 2004, offering a feed management service for web content publishers. Google purchased FeedBurner in June 2007, and made its services freely available to all users under the Google brand. FeedBurner can be used with any site that has an existing content feed in one of the supported formats, such as RSS, which is used by all of the major blogging platforms. Using FeedBurner rather than your standard feed enables you to get detailed statistics about your readers, helping you to tailor your content to match your audience. Integrating FeedBurner with a blog or similar may require your FeedBurner ID number, which you can find through the FeedBurner dashboard.

Instructions

1. Log into FeedBurner by opening the FeedBurner home page in your browser, and entering the email address and password associated with your Google account in the relevant fields in the login box.

2. Click on the relevant feed displayed in the FeedBurner dashboard to view the feed details.

3. Look at the URL displayed in the browser's address bar, which will be similar to the example below:

   http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/dashboard?id=vafad42otensh4iiz8p9orqscc

   The feed id is shown after "id=" in the browser's address bar. The id will be made up of a combination of letters and numbers.

Tips & Warnings

• Another token used to identify the feed is found in the feed address. This is the user selectable name which is displayed after "http://feeds.feedburner.com/ " in the FeedBurner URL assigned to your feed.
