really it's not different the answer you have accepted is simply JavaScript manipulating a string - nothing to do with cypress. Most (if not all) of the answers in the question [Last segment of URL](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4758103/last-segment-of-url) also apply. — Dean Taylor, Sep 27 '19 at 18:25

You are not necessarily searching for a solution within Cypress, but within Javascript. What you can do is this:

  const currentURL = 'http://bla/bla/ID'.split('/')
  const id = currentURL[4]
cy.log(id)

What does it do?

currentURL contains the full URL
split() will split the URL per every '/'. So you'll end up with an array with values 'http:', '', 'bla', 'bla' and 'ID'.
id will hold the actual ID part of the URL
log() will print the value of 'id' in your Cypress logging.
