How to Find Your Genshin Impact UID Without Opening the Game

January 11, 2026

TL;DR

You can find your Genshin Impact UID by logging into the HoYoverse redemption page and inspecting a network request in your browser's DevTools — no game launch required.

This method is useful if you can't launch the game, need your UID for a tool, or want to share it safely.

Safety Note

This does not involve modifying requests or sharing cookies. Do not paste your full Cookie or request headers into third-party sites.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Visit the Redemption Page

Go to the official gift redemption page: https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/gift.
Log in with your HoYoverse account if you aren't already.

2

Open Developer Tools

Open your browser's Developer Tools. You can usually do this by pressing F12 or by right-clicking anywhere on the page and selecting Inspect.
Once open, switch to the Network tab.

Trigger the Request

On the webpage form, click the Server dropdown and select your server (e.g., Europe, America, etc.). This action triggers a network request to fetch your character details for that server.

Tip: The request appears immediately after changing servers, you don't need to actually redeem a code.

Find the Account Data

In the Network tab, look for a request named getUserGameRolesByCookieToken. It should be at the bottom of the list.
Click on it, and then select the Response tab in the details pane.

The Result

In the Response tab, you will see a JSON object containing your account details. Look for the game_uid field.

                "is_official": true,
                "unmask": []
            }
        ]
    }
}

Your UID is the game_uid value (e.g., 733435287).
