I wouldn't decode them like this, it's fragile, and global node IDs are supposed to be opaque in GraphQL.

I see that GitHub exposes a `databaseId` field on many of their types (like PullRequest) - is that what you're looking for? [1]

Most GraphQL APIs that serve objects that implement the Node interface just base-64-encode the type name and the database ID, but I definitely wouldn't rely on that always being the case. You can read more about global IDs in GraphQL in the spec in [2].
