# Extract UUID

Since every interaction with the Uploadcare API requires the file UUID, I've added this utility action to make it easier to extract the UUID from the file URL.

## Fields

### File Path

The file path (URL) of the file to extract the UUD from.

**Default:** `null`

***

## Returned Values

You can access the extracted UUID in the returned values and reference it in subsequent steps of your workflow.

### UUID

The UUID that was extracted from the file path
