Run Actor API with User Provided ID

I'd like to use my own ID when run an actor, e.g., something like

POST
https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/skiplagged~bws-prod/runs?token=123456&id=xtwwwsdfd

POST
https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/skiplagged~bws-prod/runs?token=123456&id=xtwwwsdfd

Is that possible?

What is this ID for?

the run id. it will be used as the ID for the current run

basically, we want to use a same id (universal id) to chain all related object.

it will be nice if we can use the same id for an actor run.

I still don't follow. There is a run ID for each run apify but it seems you mean some of your internal ID. Anyway, see the usually flow in this article: https://docs.apify.com/tutorials/run-actor-and-retrieve-data-via-api
