To programmatically recieve a UUID, send a request to http://uuid.xyzio.com/json.

The response will contain a json object formatted like this:

Example: Using the API with Python

import requests

response = requests.get('http://uuid.xyzio.com/json')
response.close()
if response.status_code == 200:
    jsonObject = response.json()
    print jsonObject
