I've developped a business system which is connected to an external Typeform via a webhook. Until recently, every webhook request sent by the API was authentified with a token string, which I could parse to a GUID. This was really helpful for reusing it into the system.

A few days ago, the identification token format changed to something like :

pvv25szf6ejrdyz3vdgpvv9w37u9t0at

which is obviously not a GUID (non hexa letters).

Is there any extended GUID format/norm that I am not aware of and which could generate this kind of string? Or is this just a random string, nothing more, nothing less?

Thanks!

    This is impossible for us to guess what that string represents. I suggest you talk to the developers of the app that supplies it. Or just use strings locally, it's a safer option for the long term. – DavidG Aug 05 '19 at 11:44
  • A GUID is a **G**lobal **U**nique **ID**entifier, there is no GUID format. The only limitation a GUID has is that it is ["a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) – MindSwipe Aug 05 '19 at 11:44
  • Turns out, in the eyes of MS, a GUID does actually a defined format. For more info [read this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aa373931(v%3Dvs.80)) – MindSwipe Aug 05 '19 at 11:56
  • @MindSwipe I come from the MS World, this may explain why So, from your knowledge, there is no (put whatever you want here) number/string used to identify information in a computer system which could match the string I get? – XavierAM Aug 05 '19 at 12:24
  • @DavidG already tried. No answer so far, my guess is that I can reach them here more efficiently than with their own marketing-oriented ticket system. Point taken for the use of string instead of GUIDs for the long term, it makes sense. – XavierAM Aug 05 '19 at 12:27
