How do I map a page URL to Project ID?

None

Is it somehow possible to map a pages URL to a project id and vice versa via the shotgun-API? We want to embed Shotgun in another application and would like to track navigation in the shotgun-application.

For example the "Dashboard"-Page has an url like https://somebody.shotgunstudio.com/detail/Project/12 so the id is easily extractable and the url can be easily created out of an url.

But other pages such as the "Notes"-page or the "Sequences"-page has an URL of the form https://somebody.shotgunstudio.com/page/123 . This ID is different for every project, so theoretically there could be a possibility to retrieve the corresponding projectid.

thanks in advance

Yes, you can use the API to query Shotgun about the Page if you know the Page id and choose to return the project field.
```
results = sg.find('Page',filters=[['id','is',123]], fields=['project'])
```
Will return something like:
```
[{'id': 123,
  'project': {'id': 4, 'name': 'My Project', 'type': 'Project'},
  'type': 'Page'}]
```

This isn't well documented, and I see you already have your answer, but in case anyone else is looking for the solution, you can always do this:

https://yourstudio.shotgunstudio.com/detail/[Entity Type]/[Entity ID]

This will work for notes, tickets, tools, tasks, projects, assets, people, and all other entities.
