Querying Historical Device Shadow Data

Typical Scenario

When an application modifies the configuration of a device shadow by calling the API Modifying Information in a Device Shadow, the platform saves the modification record. If the application needs to view historical configuration records of the device shadow, the application can call this API to obtain the records.

API Function

This API is used by an application to query historical configuration data about a device shadow based on the device ID.
