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

1	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.

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

RefreshDeviceKeyOutDTO structure

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.

Error Codes

HTTP Status Code	Error Code	Error Description	Remarks
200	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.
400	100003	Invalid verify code.	The verification code is invalid. Recommended handling: Check whether verifyCode carried in the API request is correct. If verifyCode is not carried in the API request, contact IoT platform maintenance personnel.
400	100007	Bad request message.	The request message contains invalid parameters. Recommended handling: The value of deviceId is not assigned. Set this parameter based on the description of request parameters.
400	100426	The nodeId is duplicated.	The value of nodeId is duplicated. Recommended handling: Check whether nodeId carried in the API request is correct.
400	100610	Device is not active.	The device has not been activated. Recommended handling: Check whether the device has been connected to the IoT platform and activated.
400	100611	Device is online.	The device is online. Recommended handling: Enable the device to go offline or disconnect the device from the IoT platform.
400	50400	The input is invalid.	An input parameter is invalid. Recommended handling: Check whether parameters carried in the API call request are valid.
401	100025	AppId for auth not exist.	The application ID used for authentication does not exist. Recommended handling: Check whether the value is assigned to app_key in the header of the request structure. If this API is called using HTTP, contact IoT platform maintenance personnel to check whether the name of appId in the header is app_key or x-app-key.
403	100203	The application is not existed.	The authorized 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	App_key or access_token is invalid.	The access token is invalid. Recommended handling: Check whether accessToken carried in the API request is correct.
