Automatically Assigned Values for Content
When you save content, several values are automatically assigned.
These automatically assigned values can be checked and modified in the management screen. They can also be retrieved via the Content API.
id: Content ID
This is the ID of the created content. It is composed of a string according to the Content ID settings.
The content ID can be edited in the management screen. The allowable character count is from 1 to 50 characters.
Additionally, since it must be a unique value for each API, it can also be used as a slug (a part of the URL).

Information

createdAt: Content Creation Date
This is the date and time when the content was created.
The creation date will not be updated after the content is created.

Therefore, if you need to display the "update date" in article content, you can use the revisedAt timestamp.
