I cna get list of widgets with

wp widget list sidebar-1

| search          | search-2          | 1 | {"title":""}
| recent-posts    | recent-posts-2    | 2 | {"title":"","number":5}
| recent-comments | recent-comments-2 | 3 | {"title":"","number":5}
| categories      | categories-2      | 4 | {"title":"","count":0}
| meta            | meta-3            | 5 | {"title":""}

I can deactivate meta plugins with:

wp widget deactivate meta-3

My problem is: how can I get the id meta-3 from widget list ? or any other method to deactivate some widgets like meta, recent-comments etc
