Hi there,
when i tested the sample you provide for device atlas i can see that you have an property called "id".
Is this your internal "primary key" for the device?
Would it be possible for me to use this id to do a mapping to my own custom device data database, e.g. for data that you dont handle like the ability to server Flash?

Yes, 'id' is the unique key we use in DeviceAtlas.
We normally do not change that id, but it is possible that will do that, if we have to say rename or move (read delete and create a new one) the device for some reason. It's something we rarely do, but sometimes it happened in the past, especially when we identified a better recognition for a device.

Note that you can also take that ID and place it at the end of the following DeviceAtlas URL:
http://deviceatlas.com/node/[id]
e.g. http://deviceatlas.com/node/205202
So it's not that useful in a programmatic app environment, but it's very helpful for auditability of the data you're getting out.

I've been playing with the APIs and it would be useful in my case to be able to feed in an id rather than a user agent and receive other device attributes (i.e. vendor). There isn't currently a an API that will do this--can you provide guidance on how i could create my own?
