    Generate nanoid

    Default size is 21 characters with collision probability of ~1 billion years at 1000 IDs/hour. For custom alphabets, pass an alphabet string (e.g. "0123456789" for numeric IDs). Nanoid uses crypto.getRandomValues() for security. Generates unique URL-safe IDs using nanoid. 2x faster than UUID, 118 bytes. Custom alphabet support

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of nanoid, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with nanoid. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions nanoid owners ask.

  • 01

    Why should I use nanoid instead of UUID?

    Nanoid is 40% shorter (21 vs 36 chars), 2x faster, URL-safe without encoding, and has equivalent collision resistance. UUID still wins for enterprise systems that mandate RFC 9562 compliance.

  • 02

    Can I generate IDs with only numbers for order codes?

    Yes. Set alphabet to '0123456789' and size to 8 for an 8-digit numeric order code like '47829163'. Works with any character set you define.

  • 03

    Is it safe to use as a secret token or API key?

    Yes. Nanoid uses crypto.getRandomValues(). the same cryptographic PRNG used for TLS keys and encryption. Increase the size to 32+ characters for high-security tokens.
