IDs

General structure and usage of unique identifiers in the c.technology platform.

Generally, all entities in the c.technology platform are identified by a unique identifier (ID) in TypeID format. TypeIDs are UUIDs with a prefix that indicates the type of entity, making it easy to identify and manage different types of objects within the platform:

{
    // Example vehicle ID in TypeID format.
    "id": "veh_01jnk61e5pf6zs5ag6483xqe43"  
}

The only exception to this are organization IDs, which use reverse domain names (e.g. com.demoCompany) instead of TypeIDs. See the Organizations documentation for details.

For users, email addresses can be used as an alternative unique identifier, as they are guaranteed to be unique within the platform.
