'Azure Devops Get a repositoryId by using repository name

I am writing a BASH script, where its creating an azure repo and then pushing code. post this step it will go-ahead and create an azure pipeline via azure-pipeline.yaml file present in the Azure repo.

At this step we need to pass the repository ID in-order to create the pipeline, but issue here is I can't keep it as a user input as it will be getting created within script itself, now I am struck with this.

Is there any way that we can get the repo id from the newly created repo directly within the script?

{
    "folder": "Folder-Name",
    "name": "Pipeline-Name",
    "configuration": {
        "type": "yaml",
        "path": "azure-pipelines.yml",
        "repository": {
            "id": "Repo-ID",
            "name": "Repo-Name",
            "type": "azureReposGit"
        }
    }
}

This can be done by taking the output to another file as a variable (As suggested by @Shayki Abramczyk), then with the help of below command we can call the ID variable in the script file

$ jq -r '.id' Repooutput.txt

Yes, when you create the repository (with Repositories - Create api) you get in the response the repo id:

{
  "id": "5febef5a-833d-4e14-b9c0-14cb638f91e6",
  "name": "AnotherRepository",
  "url": "https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/_apis/git/repositories/5febef5a-833d-4e14-b9c0-14cb638f91e6",
  "project": {
    "id": "6ce954b1-ce1f-45d1-b94d-e6bf2464ba2c",
    "name": "Fabrikam-Fiber-Git",
    "url": "https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/_apis/projects/6ce954b1-ce1f-45d1-b94d-e6bf2464ba2c",
    "state": "wellFormed"
  },
  "remoteUrl": "https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/Fabrikam-Fiber-Git/_git/AnotherRepository"
}

So just save it in a variable and use in the create pipeline api.

In case you want to get it using Python:

import azure.devops.connection as connection
import msrest.authentication as basic_authentication

PAT = "***" # personal access token
AZURE_DEVOPS_URI = ""
PROJECT = ""

def get_repository_id_by_repo_name(repo_name):
    credentials = basic_authentication.BasicAuthentication("", PAT)
    connection_to_clients = connection.Connection(base_url=AZURE_DEVOPS_URI , creds=credentials)
    clients = connection_to_clients.clients_v5_1
    git_client = clients.get_git_client()
    repositories = git_client.get_repositories(project=PROJECT)
    for repo in repositories:
        repository_name = str(repo.name)
        if repository_name == repo_name:
            return repo.id
    return "Repository not found"
