Introduction

Soup Entries Have a Unique ID

When you add a frame to a soup it is given a unique ID. This unique ID is a number that is unique across all entries in the soup on that store. Note that two entries in the same union soup can have the same unique ID if they are on different stores.

You can also find out the modification time of an entry in a soup. The modification time is the date the entry was last modified (as always, in minutes since midnight, January 1, 1904).
