Guid generator
The GUID Generator Actor is designed to automatically create globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) in various formats, catering to developers and applications that require unique identification strings. This Actor supports the generation of multiple types of GUIDs, including standard UUID v1, v4, and v5 formats, as well as custom alphanumeric identifiers and sequential GUIDs with timestamp prefixes.
Key features
- Bulk generation capabilities: Allows users to create thousands of GUIDs simultaneously.
- Multiple output formats: Supports JSON, CSV, and plain text files.
- Customizable GUID patterns: Offers user-defined prefixes, suffixes, and character sets.
- Real-time validation: Ensures all generated identifiers meet uniqueness requirements.
Target audience
This Actor is ideal for software developers building applications that require unique record identifiers, database administrators needing primary keys for large datasets, API developers creating unique tokens and session IDs, and system integrators working on data migration projects.
Benefits
- Eliminates the need for custom GUID generation code.
- Ensures compliance with industry standards for unique identification.
- Saves development time through automated bulk generation.
- Reduces the risk of duplicate identifiers in production systems.
- Offers flexible integration options through Apify's platform APIs, making it a valuable tool for any project requiring reliable unique identifier generation at scale.
