It acts as a proxy over the real `id` field, so queries and filtering work seamlessly: you can filter by sqid string, use it in URLs as a slug, and even search by sqid in Django Admin. The underlying integer ID remains unchanged; the sqid is computed on the fly.\n\nThe package is built on the sqids library and supports customization per field (min_length, alphabet, prefix) or globally via Django settings. It integrates with Django REST Framework serializers and supports standard ORM lookups like `in`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, and `isnull`. The project was forked from django-hashids to adopt the newer Sqids library, which removed the \"salt\" parameter; django-sqids provides a `shuffle_alphabet` helper to achieve similar per-field uniqueness.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to expose model IDs as obfuscated strings in URLs or APIs without database changes. The package is low-friction, well-tested across modern Django and Python versions, and has no known vulnerabilities. The aging status (401 days since last release) is not a blocker\u2014the last commit is recent and the codebase is stable\u2014but verify that the documented Django and Python versions match your project before committing."},"id":"django-sqids","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-sqids","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-sqids.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-sqids/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-sqids","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Non-intrusive sqids library for Django"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":88554,"position":13717,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.2"}
