# Get Selenium WebDriver SessionID

The Selenium WebDriver SessionID is a unique identifier for each of your tests. Usually it's returned in a [UUID format](https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/#dfn-generating-a-uuid).

You can use this unique identifier for your own purposes, or to use it in combination with the [TestingBot API](https://testingbot.com/support/api).

Please see the examples below on how to retrieve the SessionID:

[Java](https://testingbot.com#)[Python](https://testingbot.com#)[NodeJS](https://testingbot.com#)[Ruby](https://testingbot.com#)[PHP](https://testingbot.com#)[C#](https://testingbot.com#)

    RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), options);
    String sessionId = driver.getSessionId().toString();

    session_id = driver.session_id

    const session = await driver.getSession();
    const sessionId = session.getId();

    session_id = driver.session_id

    $sessionId = $driver->getSessionID();

    string sessionId = ((RemoteWebDriver)driver).SessionId.ToString();

## Using the Selenium SessionID

You can use the Selenium SessionID to [mark a test as passed or failed](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/selenium/status).

You can also use the WebDriver sessionID to link to a test or [share a test](https://testingbot.com/support/other/sharing).
