API Request ID Basics
Trace requests end-to-end
This guide explains using request IDs for APIs: generate or accept an ID, propagate it across downstream calls, include it in logs and responses, and use it to debug incidents quickly.
- request id
- correlation
- logs
- tracing
- observability
Generate or accept IDs
Accept incoming request IDs from trusted gateways or generate a new one at entry.
Propagate downstream
Forward the request ID via headers for all internal calls and background jobs when relevant.
Log consistently
Include request_id in every log line and error so search is reliable.
Return to clients
Expose the request ID in responses and error payloads to help support.

APIs let software request data or actions from other systems through defined endpoints and responses.
Comparison
RAM vs Storage
RAM handles what your device is actively working on, while storage keeps apps, files, and system data available over time.
How it works
Global Positioning System
GPS uses timing signals from satellites to calculate a receiver's position on Earth.
What it is
Blockchain
A blockchain is a distributed ledger secured by cryptography and consensus nodes.
