API

Use the following HTTP endpoints to generate the various types of UUIDs and GUIDs supported by UUIDGenerator.net.

By default, the generated UUIDs and GUIDs are returned as plain text (text/plain; charset=utf-8) with one value per line.

If you add the HTTP header, Accept: application/json, to the API request, the response will be in JSON format (application/json; charset=utf-8).

The API supports the HTTP GET method only. The URLs are served over https. A User-Agent header is required on each request.
