I don't thing there is anything like field Id that we have , you can definitly get FieldMap for any Object, using field describe methods. A field map is map of field api name as key and schema.field as value.

 

like this 

 

// Get the sObject describe result for the Account object

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();

// Get the field describe result for the Name field on the Account object

Schema.DescribeFieldResult f = Schema.sObjectType.Account.fields.Name;

// Get the sObject describe result for the Account objectSchema.DescribeSObjectResult r = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();// Get the field describe result for the Name field on the Account objectSchema.DescribeFieldResult f = Schema.sObjectType.Account.fields.Name;

String fieldAPIName = f.getNae();
