# Alerting Notification Channels API
This page documents the Alerting Notification Channels API.
## Identifier (id) vs unique identifier (uid)
The identifier (id) of a notification channel is an auto-incrementing numeric value and is only unique per Grafana install.
The unique identifier (uid) of a notification channel can be used for uniquely identify a notification channel between
multiple Grafana installs. It's automatically generated if not provided when creating a notification channel. The uid
allows having consistent URL's for accessing notification channels and when syncing notification channels between multiple
Grafana installs, see [alert notification channel provisioning](/administration/provisioning/#alert-notification-channels)
for more information.
allows having consistent URLs for accessing notification channels and when syncing notification channels between multiple
Grafana installations, refer to [alert notification channel provisioning]({{< relref "../administration/provisioning.md#alert-notification-channels" >}}).
The uid can have a maximum length of 40 characters.
