> 🙋‍♂️ **sherfin** _asked_

## Hi, developer from [ToolJet.com](http://ToolJet.com) here 🖐

#### 

#### We were trying to create an integration for NocoDB in ToolJet. And we bumped into a confusion:

#### 

#### When I create a table named `users` , the api endpoint generated contains the table named suffixed with a certain string to make it `users_h9x6` . I don’t see a way to obtain that using the table name alone.

#### 

#### Is there a way to obtain this full table name from NocoDB UI itself? Or do we have to ask the user to go into the swagger API and have them copy the extended table name from there?

#### I’m creating table from GUI, however, the corresponding API endpoints being generated contains a string formed by the table name plus a random four-letter string.

#### 

#### So if I asked the user to enter the table name, then there is no way for my implementation to know what this random generated string is, while trying to hit the end-point.

#### table name is `test` , but I have to ask the user to go to the swagger documentation and collect the string `test_h9x6` and supply to ToolJet for integration.

#### Hi, thank you so much for this in depth support!, yes its the project id and not the table id, I stand corrected 😓

#### 

#### This is the project info o1lab@discord ```Node: **v12.22.6**

#### Arch: **x64**

#### Platform: **linux**

#### Docker: **false**

#### Database: **pg**

#### ProjectOnRootDB: **true**

#### RootDB: **pg**

#### PackageVersion: **0.84.10** ```

#### 

#### I’m wondering if there is a way to obtain this project id from the UI itself?
