API Usage

This is the current API, no API key needed. Get all the UUID’s you need!

API Base Url

https://uuid.rocks

Global Flags

?readable

Switches from standard uuidv4 format to Readable UUIDs, that are Shakespearean grammatically correct sentences.

Eg. Nertie Irwin Farris the Tighter of Chandlerville reminded Erica Aguistin Maryl and 8 dapper jaguars

?short

Switches from standard UUIDv4 to a Short ID. These ID’s are converted from UUIDv4 ID’s so they are just as unique & colission free.

Eg. rZMRC1FzqYjVLxNN6iKqqq

?ulid

Uses the ulidx package to generate ULID’s.

Eg. 01FB0CCPD8R0H9KAJBFQJDFYJB

?nanoid

Uses the nanoid package to generate ID’s. Supports &len= param to adjust ID length. If this is not a number it will be silently ignored. If used in combonation with bulk api, may fail if len is too long.
