BrickOwl API owl_id property???

MontagueBrick

Hi,
I am using the BrickOwl inventory API and there is a property on i think every lot in my inventory called "owl_id". I am just really wondering what exactly this does.
Thx

Hoddie

Every item on BO has a distinct ID.

A 2 x 4 brick (3001) has an owl_id of 771344.

A 2 x 4 brick in Medium Blue has an owl_id of 771344-14 (14 being the colour code).

Sorry I'm 2 years late on this. But that's not true @Hoddie. You're referring to the "boid". @Rainey was asking about the "owl_id" field.

In the example below from my own inventory, the boid is 771344-14, but the owl_id is 74815

I too am curious what owl_id refers to

{"con":"used","full_con":"usedn","qty":"4","lot_id":"65362699","price":"0.087","base_price":"0.087","final_price":"0.087","url":"https:\/\/bricklanta.brickowl.com\/store\/lego-brick-2-x-4-3001-72841","owl_id":"74815","public_note":null,"personal_note":"Ctnr Lg 02 - Bricks 2x4","sale_percent":"0","bulk_qty":"1","for_sale":"1","my_cost":null,"lot_weight":null,"reserve_uid":null,"boid":"771344-14","external_lot_ids":{"other":"205226541"},"type":"Part","ids":[{"id":"3001","type":"design_id"},{"id":"3001","type":"ldraw"},{"id":"771344-14","type":"boid"},{"id":"4165450","type":"item_no"},{"id":"4205058","type":"item_no"}],"tier_price":[]},

That’s just another internal ID we have. We have a lot of types of IDs for different purposes.

I don't think that it is used anywhere else in the API, or am I remembering wrong?
