How to generate id in API

I’m using ansible to call the API to configure notifications.
I need to create id’s for notifications, which I then need to use in notification definitions. Does anyone know a safe way to generate the ID’s?

Hello,

I haven’t found a way yet, I believe this maybe internal once the notification is created.

Example of searching for notification in MongoDb.

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d8c264583d72e7aecc513ea"), "title" : "Logged in  After Hours" }
Type "it" for more
>  db.notifications.find({},{"title":1,"ObjectId":1});

It’s possible to use pymongo or pybson to generate object id’s (they’re just mongo object id’s)
