AI UUID Generator Actor

An Apify Actor that generates unique UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) using AI-powered UUID generation technology. Simply configure your preferences, and the Actor will create a unique UUID for your use case.

What This Tool Does

This Actor connects to the MultipleWords UUID generation API to create unique identifiers. It accepts optional configuration parameters, processes the request through the API, and returns a high-quality UUID along with detailed metadata.

Key Features:

• 🔑 Generate unique UUIDs on demand
• 🚀 Fast and automated UUID creation
• 📦 Structured output with UUID and metadata
• 🔄 Reliable error handling with retry logic
• 📊 Complete generation details and timestamps

Purpose & Use Cases

This tool is designed to help individuals, businesses, and developers automate UUID generation for various purposes:

Development & Testing

• Generate unique identifiers for database records
• Create test data with unique keys
• Generate session IDs and transaction tokens
• Create unique identifiers for API endpoints

Data Management

• Assign unique IDs to imported data
• Generate identifiers for batch processing
• Create unique keys for data migration
• Generate identifiers for distributed systems

Business & Automation

• Generate unique order IDs and transaction numbers
• Create unique identifiers for customer records
• Generate tracking numbers and reference codes
• Create unique identifiers for inventory management

Integration & Workflows

• Integrate UUID generation into automated workflows
• Batch generate UUIDs for multiple projects
• Create UUIDs programmatically via API integration
• Generate identifiers for microservices architecture

Content & Media

• Generate unique identifiers for media files
• Create unique keys for content management systems
• Generate identifiers for asset tracking
• Create unique IDs for digital products

Input Parameters

The Actor accepts the following optional input parameters:

userId (Optional)

• Type: Integer
• Description: User identifier for the API request
• Default: 663559
• Minimum: 1
• Example: 663559

isPro (Optional)

• Type: Integer
• Description: Pro version flag (0 = free version, 1 = pro version)
• Default: 0
• Allowed Values: 0 or 1
• Example: 1

Note: Both parameters are optional and have sensible defaults. You can run the Actor without providing any input to use the default configuration.

Output Structure

The Actor returns structured data containing the generated UUID information:

{
  "status": 1,
  "uuid": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "timestamp": "2026-01-27T12:55:52.000Z"
}

Output Fields Explained

• status - Success indicator (1 = success)
• uuid - The generated unique identifier (UUID format)
• timestamp - ISO timestamp when the UUID was generated

How to Use

Running Locally

1. Install dependencies:

   $npm install
   

2. Run the Actor:

   $apify run
   

3. Provide input when prompted, or create an input file in storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json:

   {
     "userId": 663559,
     "isPro": 0
   }
   

   Or run with default settings (no input file needed):

   {}
   

Deploy to Apify Platform

1. Login to Apify:

   $apify login
   

2. Deploy the Actor:

   $apify push
   

3. Run on Apify Console:

   • Go to Actors -> My Actors
   • Select your AI UUID Generator Actor
   • Optionally configure userId and isPro in the input form
   • Click "Start" to generate your UUID

Using via API

Once deployed, you can call the Actor via Apify API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~ai-uuid-generator/run-sync" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "userId": 663559,
    "isPro": 0
  }'

Or with minimal input (using defaults):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~ai-uuid-generator/run-sync" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
