Querying Device Shadow Information

Typical Scenario

When a device is in the offline or abnormal state, an NA cannot deliver configuration information to the device by sending a command. In this case, the NA can deliver the configuration information to the device shadow. When the device goes online, the device shadow will deliver the configuration information to the device. The NA can call this API to check the device configuration information and the latest data reported by the device on the device shadow.

API Function

This API is used by an NA to query the device shadow information of a device, including the device configuration information (in the desired section) and the latest data reported by the device (in the reported section).

API Description

1	def queryDeviceShadow(self, deviceId, appId, accessToken)

Class

DeviceManagement

Parameter Description

Parameter	Mandatory or Optional	Type	Location	Description
deviceId	Mandatory	String	path	Identifies a device. The device ID is allocated by the IoT platform during device registration.
appId	Optional	String	query	If the device belongs to the current application, set this parameter to None. Otherwise, set this parameter to the ID of the authorized application.
accessToken	Mandatory	String	header	This parameter is set to the value of the access token obtained by calling the Authentication API.

ONLINE	NONE COMMUNICATION_ERROR CONFIGURATION_ERROR BRIDGE_OFFLINE FIRMWARE_UPDATING DUTY_CYCLE NOT_ACTIVE

NOTE:

When the device status information is reported to the IoT platform, status and statusDetail must be included. It is recommended that statusDetail be used only for display but not for logical judgment.

DeviceServiceB structure

desiredProps	ObjectNode	Indicates the information delivered to the device.
eventTime	String(256)	Indicates the time when an event occurs.
serviceType	String(256)	Indicates the service type.

Error Codes

HTTP Status Code	Error Code	Error Description	Remarks
403	100203	The application is not existed.	The application does not exist. Recommended handling: Check whether appId carried in the HTTP request header is correct. Check whether appId in the request path (URL) is correct.
403	100217	The application hasn't been authorized.	The application has not been authorized. Recommended handling: In scenarios where applications are not authorized, ensure that request parameter appId is null.
403	1010009	app throttle exceed.	The NA calls the API at a frequency that exceeds the flow control threshold (100 calls per minute by default). Recommended handling: Contact IoT platform maintenance personnel to adjust the flow control threshold or control the API call frequency.
403	1010005	pp_key or access_token is invalid.	The access token is invalid. Recommended handling: Check whether accessToken carried in the API request is correct.
404	100418	The deviceData is not existed.	The device data does not exist. Recommended handling: If deviceId carried in the request is incorrect, check whether deviceId belongs to appId or whether deviceId is incorrect. Check whether appId carried in the header contains deviceId. If the URL contains the optional parameter appId, check whether the value of appId is correct.
500	100203	The application is not existed.	The application does not exist. Recommended handling: Check whether appId carried in the HTTP request header is correct. Check whether appId in the request path (URL) is correct.
500	50252	Internal server error.	An internal server error occurs. Recommended handling: An internal error occurs on the IoT platform. Contact IoT platform maintenance personnel.
