UniqueID vs UserID

I cannot find a way to get the uniqueID, though we for sure store it (I know devs can find when troubleshooting)

maybe i missed something, but this doesn't seem to appear in the profile .json, apiv2 or in utility export

I know you can RETRIEVE a user in vanilla with the uniqueID/foreign id using smartid

however, i only seem able to GET the unique id via apiv1

This is the only way. The foreign ID is supposed to be buried, as it's part of the SSO. It's not supposed to be accessible.

except via apiv1 as noted above ;)

>fyi: I was led to believe that the uniqueID and the foreignID are the same thing. So you get one, you get the other.

that has always been my understanding as well, ive also heard it called (and assumed it was the same thing) uuid and uid

Just the standard Smarty Tag documentation and SmartID doc Shauna mentioned above
