    necessary:
 
-``python   indicator = Indicator(type='indicator', ...)``

 Passing a value for ``type`` that does not match the class being
 constructed will cause an error:
 
-``python   >>> indicator = Indicator(type='xxx', ...)   stix2.exceptions.InvalidValueError: Invalid value for Indicator 'type': must equal 'indicator'.``

 -  If not provided, ``id`` will be generated randomly. If you provide an
    ``id`` argument, it must begin with the correct prefix:
 
-``python   >>> indicator = Indicator(id="campaign--63ce9068-b5ab-47fa-a2cf-a602ea01f21a")   stix2.exceptions.InvalidValueError: Invalid value for Indicator 'id': must start with 'indicator--'.``
