Format for GUIDs (length, etc)

Hi,

Are there are any restrictions on the GUID format that we can depend on? For example, my GUID appears to be 26 characters of A-Z and 0-9 (no lowercase, no special chars, etc). Is there a max length or a stated restriction on special chars (*@#$%)? Thanks!

  • Hi goboldorgohome,

    All information on GUID restrictions / formats can be found here: http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api...ices-guids.html - that will give you the format restrictions (basically 26 bytes, letters A-Z (uppercase) and numbers 2-7 only).
