Missing UUID

[SwiftGDTF]

Hey, 

I have found that the GDTF Share API (https://gdtf-share.com/apis/public/getList.php) returns one fixture without a UUID (well, with a null UUID):

{
  "rid": 58754,
  "fixture": "StarColor72",
  "manufacturer": "BeamZ",
  "revision": "StarColor72_1",
  "creationDate": 1709560019,
  "lastModified": 1769963351,
  "uploader": "User",
  "rating": "N/A",
  "version": "1.2",
  "creator": "RickD",
  "uuid": null,
  "modes": [
    {
      "name": "8 Channels",
      "dmxfootprint": 8
    },
    {
      "name": "10 Channel",
      "dmxfootprint": 10
    },
    {
      "name": "4 Channels",
      "dmxfootprint": 4
    }
  ],
  "filesize": 980578
}

The GDTF file for the given revision seems to have GUID: https://fixturebuilder.gdtf-share.com/load/?rid=58754

Is the UUID field option in the response and I need to handle this case or is this simply a bug?
I have also trouble finding the official GDTF Share API spec. Is this the reference? https://www.gdtf.eu/gdtf/share_api/share-api/
It would be good to define which of those properties are optional and which aren't.

Thanks

Thank you for the report, i have reported this to the Share maintainers so they can read your forum post and take steps.

GDTF UUID is required and specified by the GDTF Spec, it is a bug of the API.

The page you posted is linking to the official specification:

Here is the repo and the document: https://github.com/mvrdevelopment/tools/blob/main/GDTF_Share_API/GDTF Share API.md

Issue of fixture without UUID has been resolved and steps have been added to prevent this in the future.
