Hi @sns ,

Go to list settings >> See the URL and the list GUID is after "List=".

SharePoint GUID Conversion Encoding. just replace:

%7B with {
%2D with –
%7D with }

For example, from the below screenshot, we get the value "%7B788041CE%2D5DB5%2D43BF%2D84E1%2D4417550E227C%7D" after "List=". Use the above decoding technique we get the GUID:

780841CE-5DB5-43BF-84E1-4417550E227C.

Or we can use below PowerShell:

 
#how to get list guid in sharepoint 2016 using powershell 
$Web = Get-SPWeb "http://xxx/sites/xxx" 
#Get the List 
$List = $web.Lists["listname"] 
Write-Host "List GUID:" $List.id
