Section I. Introduction
In the world of Cyara, everything has a unique ID that never changes. Your account? Unique ID. Your user? Unique ID. Your favorite CX Model? It too has a unique ID. Cyara uses these IDs to distinguish one element on the platform from another. We're going to talk about the IDs surrounding tests cases and campaigns, and how we use them in Cyara's 3.0 REST API.
Section II. IDs and GUIDs
To start, Cyara uses two different kinds of IDs: a numerical ID (for example 21560), and a GUID (for example e576ed8e-d7da-4b5a-ae85-ea336b5267f8). With regards to test cases and campaigns, the GUIDs generate at the start of running either a test case or campaign. These GUIDs are not unique to the API, nothing actually is, and we can see them in the portal if we're quick.
To see a GUID in the portal, open up any test case and click Save & Run. If we look in the URL during the validation, we'll see the GUID for the validation in the ticket parameter (15a79226-0d50-4c8f-975f-8ac27bcf25d3):
When the test case validation finishes, the URL changes and we'll see the ID for the validation in the testResultId parameter (252429826):
