Although cool in and of itself, this also highlights why using autoincremented ids is not a good idea when it comes to protecting users privacy (this is not the case of course since I don't see any critical data in the JSON response).

I always use UUIDs for exactly that reason, and also because it helps when building distributed systems (id clashing is less probable with them)
