What is entityId and uuid in team managed projects

[Ravi Prasad]

I have team managed project in the Jira Software.

I fired REST API using "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project/search?" I got response for that project is --> 

{

"style": "next-gen",

"entityId": "bd3fb42c-4218-412d-bf32-32324c601dfsc",

"uuid": "bd3fb42c-4218-412d-bf32-3232dszfw013ec"

}

Note: I remove unnecessary things in the response only I have provided few fields from JSON response.

Regards,

Ravi Prasad.

Hi @Ravi Prasad 

An Entity ID is a globally unique name for a SAML entity, i.e., your Identity Provider (IdP).

"UUID", which is a "universally unique identifier". There's an essay here, but it's probably not of any use (and certainly boring) once you realise you can say a Jira's base url + issue key/id is a UUID.
