Querying Information About a Device

Typical Scenario

If an NA needs to view detailed information (such as the manufacturer, model, version, status, and service attributes) of a device that has been registered on the IoT platform, the NA can call this API to obtain the information.

API Function

This API is used by an NA to query detailed information of a specified device based on the device ID on the IoT platform, such as configuration, status and service attributes.

API Prototype

Method

GET

URL

https://server:port/iocm/app/dm/v1.4.0/devices/{deviceId}?appId={appId}&select={select}

Transport Protocol

HTTPS

Request Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Type

Location

Description

app_key

Mandatory

String

header

Identifies an application that can be accessed on the IoT platform. The value of this parameter is allocated by the IoT platform when the application is created on the platform.

Authorization

Mandatory

String

header

Indicates the authentication information for accessing the IoT platform. The value is Bearer {accessToken}, in which {accessToken} indicates the access token returned by the Authentication API.

deviceId

Mandatory

String

path

Uniquely identifies a device. The value of this parameter is allocated by the IoT platform during device registration.

appId

Optional

String

query

Identifies an application that can be accessed on the IoT platform. The value of this parameter is allocated by the IoT platform when the application is created on the platform. Set this parameter to the value of appId of the authorized application.

select

Optional

String

query

Indicates the query condition. The value can be IMSI.

Response Parameters
