I need to get my desktop information using Javascript it may be windows, MAC, Linux os. I need to get System Unique Id, OS name etc, for example in a mobile device we can get device Id, in the same way, there is any possibility to get the Unique Id for the desktop?

JavaScript doesn't have access to that. Closer you can do is navigator.userAgent. 

console.log(navigator.userAgent);

What you could do is ask a service that can read that sort of information using an XMLHttpRequest

var parser = new UAParser();
      
window.navigator.userAgent
console.log(parser.getResult());

// let's test a custom user-agent string as an example
var uastring = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu / 11.10 Chromium / 15.0 .874 .106 Chrome / 15.0 .874 .106 Safari / 535.2 ";
parser.setUA(uastring);

var result = parser.getResult();
// this will also produce the same result (without instantiation):
// var result = UAParser(uastring);

console.log(result.browser); // {name: "Chromium", version: "15.0.874.106" }
console.log(result.device); // {model: undefined, type: undefined, vendor: undefined }
console.log(result.os); // {name: "Ubuntu", version: "11.10"}
console.log(result.os.version); // "11.10"
console.log(result.engine.name); // "WebKit"
console.log(result.cpu.architecture); // "amd64"

// do some other tests
var uastring2 = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.1; OpenBSD) KHTML/4.1.4 (like Gecko)";
console.log(parser.setUA(uastring2).getBrowser().name); // "Konqueror"
console.log(parser.getOS()); // {name: "OpenBSD", version: undefined}
console.log(parser.getEngine()); // {name: "KHTML", version: "4.1.4"}

var uastring3 = 'Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM Tablet OS 1.0.0; en-US)AppleWebKit / 534.11(KHTML, like Gecko) Version / 7.1 .0 .7 Safari / 534.11 ';
console.log(parser.setUA(uastring3).getDevice().model); // "PlayBook"
console.log(parser.getOS()) // {name: "RIM Tablet OS ", version: "1.0.0"}
console.log(parser.getBrowser().name); // "Safari"

  • @achu You can use the fingerprintJS library, it helps a lot with calculating a browser fingerprint. By the way, on Panopticlick you can see how unique this usually is. –  Feb 18 '19 at 13:16
