We’ve released a new API method that enables 3rd party developers, retailers, businesses, and users the ability to get a UUID. In our Pass Designer, users can easily convert a word into a UUID, which can then be embedded on a pass. Now, there’s a way to quickly retrieve UUIDs by using PassKit’s API.
Simply type: https://api.passkit.com/v1/get/uuid/text into your browser, replacing text with a word/name of your choice. Click enter and the UUID will appear.
Because this is using PassKit’s algorithm, the UUID generated here will match with the one generated in the Pass Designer. This API method allows you to quickly get UUID information outside of the Pass Designer. This is especially useful for developers who are creating applications that incorporate PassKit’s solution, or even retailers who are managing a large network of beacons.
If you have any questions on PassKit’s API, please visit our forum for answers from the PassKit Community. Check out our documentation for more information on our methods.
