# style ID

A **style ID** is a map [style's](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/style/) unique identifier.

When you create a style with [Mapbox Studio](https://docs.mapbox.com/studio-manual/), it generates a [style URL](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/style-url/) that includes the style ID. A complete style URL, like `mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v11`, is comprised of three components:

-   `mapbox://styles`: points to the [Mapbox Styles API](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/maps/styles/)
-   `/mapbox`: your Mapbox username
-   `/streets-v12`: the unique style ID

You need to know the style ID for the specific map style you are working with when you use the [Mapbox Styles API](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/maps/styles/).
