# Transaction move_id as String

**Project:** sba-scout (Rust) | **Commit:** `60b397b`

## Problem

The SBA league API returns transaction `moveid` as a formatted string like `"Season-013-Week-11-1772073335"`, not an integer. Deserializing as `Option<i64>` panics/errors.

## Fix

Changed `move_id` from `Option<i64>` to `Option<String>` in `api/types.rs` `TransactionData` struct.

## Pattern

Don't assume numeric-looking field names in an API are actually integers. Inspect real API responses before choosing Rust types. Transaction/move identifiers often encode semantic information as composite strings.
