# seatClaimId

The identifier of a seat claim in a group subscription that uses developer-hosted invitations.

```
uuid seatClaimId
```

## Discussion

The [`Claim Seat`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Claim-Seat) endpoint returns this UUID when you claim a seat. Store it with your record of the member who occupies the seat, and use it to call the [`Unclaim Seat`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Unclaim-Seat) and [`Associate Seat`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Associate-Seat) endpoints. This identifier belongs to a claim, not to a seat in the subscription. Every claim generates a new `seatClaimId`, even when you reassign a seat to another member.

To get the identifiers of the active seat claims in a subscription, call the [`Get Seat Info`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Get-Seat-Info) endpoint. When the App Store unclaims seats, the `UNCLAIM_SEATS` notification identifies them by this value. For more information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/unclaimSeatIds>.
