# **🗺️ What Is a Project UUID and Why Do You Need It?**

A **UUID (Universally Unique Identifier)** is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to every project in Search Atlas. It looks like this: **a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890**. You may need it when contacting support, using the Search Atlas API, or troubleshooting a specific project such as RevRocket.

# **🧭 Method 1: Find the UUID Directly in the URL**

This is the fastest method and works in most cases.

1. Log in to Search Atlas and go to **Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Overview**.
2. Click the project card you want (e.g., RevRocket) to open the project dashboard.
3. Look at the browser address bar. The URL will contain a long string of characters — that is your project UUID. For example: **app.searchatlas.com/seo-automation-v3/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890?category=...**
4. Copy the UUID segment between **/seo-automation-v3/** and **?category=...**.

# **🛠️ Method 2: Use Browser Developer Tools (Network Tab)**

Use this method if the UUID does not appear directly in the URL bar.

1. Navigate to **Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Overview** and open your project (e.g., RevRocket).
2. Open your browser's developer tools by pressing **F12** on Windows/Linux or **Cmd + Option + I** on Mac. Alternatively, right-click anywhere on the page and select **Inspect**.
3. Click the **Network** tab at the top of the developer tools panel.
4. Make sure **Fetch/XHR** is selected in the filter row just below the tab bar. If you do not see any requests, press **F5** or **Cmd + R** to reload the page.
5. Click on any request in the list that references your project. Look at the **Request URL** in the Headers panel on the right — it will contain the UUID as part of the endpoint path (e.g., **/api/projects/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/**).
6. Copy the UUID string — it always follows the pattern of **8-4-4-4-12** alphanumeric characters separated by hyphens.

# **✅ Quick Tips**

- Each project has its own unique UUID — make sure you have the correct project open before copying.
- The UUID is the same regardless of which page or tab you are on within a project.
- If you have multiple projects (e.g., RevRocket and others), open each one individually to retrieve its specific UUID.
- UUIDs do not change over time, so you can save it for future reference.
