Get Client ID

Last updated on October 2, 2026

Overview

The Client ID serves as the client's unique identifier across the AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS). The system automatically generates the ID when you create an IAM client.

In this tutorial, you'll need your Client ID and other client parameters for the Game SDK set up process.

Prerequisites

In this section, we assume you've created your game namespace and added an IAM client for it. If not, follow the steps in these guides: manage your namespace and add an IAM client.

To follow the AGS CLI steps, you have installed the AGS CLI and signed in with an account that has READ on ADMIN:NAMESPACE:{namespace}:CLIENT. See Install and sign in. The examples use a Bash shell.

Get the Client ID

warning

The Client Secret is only shown the first time you create a new IAM Client. Ensure that you record and secure it.

Follow these steps to retrieve the Client ID and other parameters needed to set up your game.

Admin Portal

1. Log in to the Admin Portal and select your namespace.

   

2. On the Admin Portal sidebar, go to Foundations > Identity & Access > IAM Clients. The IAM Clients page appears.

   

3. Find the IAM client you want to view from the IAM Clients list and click on its View option to open its details page.

4. Note the values for the Client ID, Namespace, Redirect URI, and Base URL. You'll use these values in the Set up game SDK step.

   

AGS CLI

1. List the IAM clients in your namespace. Replace <YourNamespace> with your namespace. Find the client by its clientName and copy its clientId:

   ags iam clients list --namespace <YourNamespace>

   To show only the clients with a given name, add --client-name <ClientName>.

2. Get the client's details. Replace <ClientId> with the clientId from step 1. Note the values of clientId, namespace, redirectUri, and baseUri. You'll use these values in the Set up game SDK step.

   ags iam clients get --namespace <YourNamespace> --client-id <ClientId>

That's it. You've retrieved your information.
