For you web2.0 savvy people that customized your Pipes URL to http://pipes.yahoo.com/coolname/coolpipe, you might be wondering how to get your Pipe ID.

This is especially useful to Flash developers who use our yahooapis.com crossdomain policy file as the web2.0 URLs aren't supported in that domain.

To get the ID of your Pipe go to "More Options" on the Pipe info page and click "Get as RSS" (or as JSON etc). This will open a new window and you'll see the Pipe ID in the URL.

If you are a Flash developer, just replace pipes.yahoo.com with pipes.yahooapis.com as described in this previous post: http://blog.pipes.yahoo.net/2007/03/10/pipes-adds-flash-developer-support/
