Refreshing a Device Key

Typical Scenario

If the unique identification code of a device that has been registered with the IoT platform changes (for example, a device is replaced), an NA needs to call this API to update the unique identification code of the device and rebind the device.

NOTE:

The device password can be updated only when the device is offline.

API Function

This API is used by an NA to update the node ID of a device that has been registered with the IoT platform, and rebind the device with the device ID unchanged.

API Description

RefreshDeviceKeyOutDTO refreshDeviceKey(RefreshDeviceKeyInDTO rdkInDTO, String deviceId, String appId, String accessToken) throws NorthApiException

Class

DeviceManagement

Parameter Description

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Type

Location

Description

deviceId

Mandatory

String(256)

path

Identifies a device. The device ID is allocated by the IoT platform during device registration.

appId

Mandatory

String

query

If the device belongs to the current application, set this parameter to null. Otherwise, set this parameter to the ID of the authorized application.

accessToken

Mandatory

String

header

If the Periodically Refreshing a Token API is called, set this parameter to null. Otherwise, set this parameter to the accessToken obtained by the Authentication API.

rdkInDTO

Mandatory

RefreshDeviceKeyInDTO

body

For details, see RefreshDeviceKeyInDTO structure.

RefreshDeviceKeyInDTO structure

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Type

Location

Description

verifyCode

Optional

String(256)

body

Indicates the verification code of the device. If this parameter is specified in the request, it is returned in the response. If this parameter is not specified in the request, it is automatically generated by the IoT platform. You are advised to set this parameter to the value of nodeId.

nodeId

Optional

String(256)

body

Uniquely identifies the device. Generally, the MAC address, serial number, or IMEI is used as the node ID.

  • If the value is null, the value of this parameter remains unchanged.
  • If the value is not null, the value of this parameter is updated.
NOTE:

When the IMEI is used as the node ID, the node ID varies depending on the chip provided by the manufacturer.

  • The unique identifier of a Qualcomm chip is urn:imei:xxxx, where xxxx is the IMEI.
  • The unique identifier of a HiSilicon chip is the IMEI.
  • For details on the unique identifiers of chipsets provided by other manufacturers, contact the module manufacturers.

timeout

Optional

Integer

body

Indicates the validity period of the verification code, in units of seconds. The value is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

  • If this parameter is set to null, the default value 180 prevails.
  • If this parameter is set to 0, the verification code never expires.
  • If this parameter is not set to 0, the verification code expires after the specified time elapses.

Return Value

Parameter

Type

Description

verifyCode

String(256)

Indicates the device verification code, with which the device can get authenticated and connect to the IoT platform. If this parameter is specified in the request, it is returned in the response. If this parameter is not specified in the request, it is automatically generated by the IoT platform.

timeout

Integer

Indicates the validity period of the verification code, in seconds. The device must connect to the IoT platform within this period.
