# requestIdentifier

A string that contains a unique identifier you provide to track each subscription-renewal-date extension request.

```
string requestIdentifier
```

## Discussion

You provide a `requestIdentifier` in the request body when you call the [`Extend Subscription Renewal Dates for All Active Subscribers`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Extend-Subscription-Renewal-Dates-for-All-Active-Subscribers) and [`Extend a Subscription Renewal Date`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Extend-a-Subscription-Renewal-Date) endpoints.

The API returns the same request identifier in its response, so you can match your request with the related response. The <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/App-Store-Server-Notifications-V2> also include this request identifier in notifications related to the [`Extend Subscription Renewal Dates for All Active Subscribers`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Extend-Subscription-Renewal-Dates-for-All-Active-Subscribers) endpoint. For more information, see the `RENEWAL_EXTENSION` <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/notificationType>.

To resend the same request due to a timeout or other error, use the same request identifier. Otherwise, create a unique request identifer for each different subscription-renewal-date extension request.

> Important:
> Provide a `UUID` value for the ``doc://com.apple.appstoreserverapi/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/requestIdentifier`` when calling the ``doc://com.apple.appstoreserverapi/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Extend-Subscription-Renewal-Dates-for-All-Active-Subscribers`` endpoint.

The maximum string length is 128 characters.
