RE: How to use the Steem API, For Beginners

in #howto7 years ago

If i understood you, an id is a meaningless number that is echoed back to the client on each request. The reason it exists is to simplify the implementation of clients which want to be able to route an incoming response to its initiating request. It also allows distinguishing of push notifications from responses.
Hope that helps
