Remarks

This property contains the globally unique identifier for the current item. It is a string that uniquely identifies the item. Aggregators can use This property to determine whether or not an item is new.

Aggregators should view this value as a string, but it is up to the source of the feed to guarantee its uniqueness. The value may be the URL link to the full text of the item in order to help guarantee that it is unique.

The item_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the item_count property.
