How it works

A UUID is a 128-bit id written as 36 characters, including hyphens. Version 4 ids from this page come from the browser’s randomUUID function. They are suitable for local prototypes and request ids. They are not a sequence, so do not use them when you need sortable database keys.

Frequently asked questions

Which version is this?

Version 4, which is random rather than based on the time or a machine address.

Can two people get the same id?

It is possible in theory and negligible in practice for normal use. Do not treat that as a guarantee for a safety-critical system.
