**Description**  
Can you give me any information on the format or structure of the account ID returned by the users API for a given user?

It looks like it is a 22 character string that contains only alphanumeric characters and underscores. Is this a valid assessment?

Hi @j.herman unfortunately we can’t commit to an account ID structure, but this assessment is currently valid for parsing.
