Your UUID/GUID:
e72e77a3-38bd-4a97-a99f-c03bc7c22605
Create an arbitrary number of uuids:
To programmatically recieve a UUID, send a request to http://uuid.xyzio.com/json.
The response will contain a json object formatted like this:
{"uuid": "5326d3df-2aab-481c-ba8f-c4da69df2603"}
import requests
response = requests.get('http://uuid.xyzio.com/json')
response.close()
if response.status_code == 200:
jsonObject = response.json()
print jsonObject
Output:
{u'uuid': u'ba2bf0c7-fded-4e7b-8a79-ea70783c9ee1'}
UUID stands for Universally Unique IDentifier. It is a unique 128-bit number that is extermely unlikely to be similar to another UUID.
GUID stands for Globally Unique IDentifier. It is Microsoft's implementation of the UUID standard.
There is no difference between a GUID and a UUID. They are both 16-byte highly unique values that can be used interchangeably.
