Objects in the HipGeo API have unique IDs that should be used to reference them. These IDs are provided as results in many of the endpoints.
Object IDs are opaque and unique string values. HipGeo's API can distinguish between different object types from the ID itself, but the caller should not attempt to interpret or form values as the format may change in the future.
| Name | Encoded ID |
|---|---|
| Location | LOCATIONID |
| Place | PLACEID |
| Travel | TRAVELID |
| User | USERID |
| Authorized User | me |
| Journal Entry | JOURNALID |
| Media | MEDIAID |
| Gll | GLLID |
All objects allow their contents to be retrieved using the GET method (see objects for example). Some also allow their values to be updated using the PUT method or deleted using the DELETE method (see delete endpoint).
