Generate Uuids

Generates cryptographically secure UUID v4 strings for development and testing. Use via MCP in Cursor or Windsurf, or call GET /v1/lorem/uuids directly. Returns standard 36-character format like "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479". Each UUID is randomly generated with 122 bits of entropy, ensuring virtually zero collision probability across billions of IDs.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/lorem/uuids

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/lorem/uuids" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/lorem/uuids', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/lorem/uuids',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

      "url": "https://tinyfn.io/mcp/lorem",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }

FAQ

How do I generate multiple UUIDs at once?

Add a count parameter to the endpoint or specify quantity when using MCP tools in AI coding assistants. Default is typically 1 UUID.

Are these UUIDs cryptographically secure for production use?

Yes, these are UUID v4 with proper random number generation. Safe for database primary keys, API tokens, and session identifiers.

What's the difference between UUID v1, v4, and v5?

v1 uses timestamp+MAC address (predictable), v4 uses random bits (most common), v5 uses namespace+name hashing (deterministic). This tool generates v4.

Can I use this in MCP-enabled editors for quick ID generation?

Absolutely. In Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf, just ask your AI assistant to generate UUIDs and it'll use this tool for real random IDs instead of fake ones.

Do UUIDs from this tool include hyphens and uppercase letters?

Standard format with hyphens, lowercase hex digits: 8-4-4-4-12 character pattern. Most systems expect this canonical representation.
