Object IDs

Every public Socialit resource is identified by an object ID (OID): a sortable, URL-safe, prefixed string. Internal database identifiers are never exposed.

An OID is a short type prefix followed by a base62, time-sortable identifier:

pst_2Xa9kQ1mB3cD4eF5gH6iJ7kL8m

Because the identifier portion encodes a timestamp, OIDs of the same type sort roughly in creation order.

ResourcePrefixExample
Workspacews_ws_2Xa...
API keykey_key_2Xa...
Mediamed_med_2Xa...
Postpst_pst_2Xa...
Social accountsa_sa_2Xa...
Social postingsp_sp_2Xa...

Always pass and store the full OID, including its prefix. Use these values anywhere the API expects an id.
