Security Considerations

​
Secure vs Standard Random

  • Standard Random: Uses pseudo-random number generator (faster)
  • Secure Random: Uses cryptographically secure random (slower but more secure)
Use secure random for:
  • Security-critical applications
  • Session tokens
  • Cryptographic keys
  • Financial transactions
Use standard random for:
  • Development and testing
  • Non-security-critical applications
  • Performance-sensitive operations

​
Best Practices

​
Bulk Generation

For generating multiple UUIDs, use the count parameter instead of multiple API calls: 
# Good - Single request
curl "https://api.sinaty.business/uuid/?count=100"

# Avoid - Multiple requests
for i in {1..100}; do curl "https://api.sinaty.business/uuid/"; done

​
Format Selection

Choose the appropriate format for your use case:
  • Database Storage: Use compact to save space
  • API Responses: Use standard for readability
  • URIs: Use urn format
  • Binary Storage: Use base64 or hex

​
Error Handling

Always implement proper error handling: 
try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.sinaty.business/uuid/?count=5');
    if (!response.ok) {
        const error = await response.json();
        console.error('API Error:', error.error);
        return;
    }
    const data = await response.json();
    console.log('Generated UUIDs:', data.uuids);
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Request failed:', error);
}
