String

Parameter description: user token. You can obtain the token by calling the IAM API Obtaining a User Token Through Password Authentication. X-Subject-Token in the response header returned by the API is the desired user token. For details about how to obtain the token, see Token Authentication.

Instance-Id

No

String

Parameter description: instance ID. Unique identifier of each instance in the physical multi-tenant scenario. Mandatory for professional editions and recommended in other cases. Log in to the IoTDA console and choose Overview in the navigation pane to view the instance ID. For details, see Viewing Instance Details.

Status code: 200

Table 3 Response body parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

app_id

String

Resource space ID.

Maximum: 36

app_name

String

Resource space name.

device_id

String

Device ID, used to uniquely identify a device. The value of this parameter is specified during device registration or allocated by the platform. If the value is allocated by the platform, the value is in the format of [product_id]_[node_id].

node_id

String

Device identifier. This parameter is set to the IMEI, MAC address, or serial number.

gateway_id

String

Gateway ID, which is the device ID of the parent device. The gateway ID is the same as the device ID if the device is a directly connected device. If the device is an indirectly connected device, the gateway ID is the device ID of the directly connected device with which it associates.

device_name

String

Device name.

node_type

String

Device node type.

  • ENDPOINT: an indirectly connected device.

  • GATEWAY: a directly connected device or gateway.

  • UNKNOWN: The device node type is unknown.

description

String

Device description.

fw_version

String

Firmware version of the device.

sw_version

String

Software version of the device.

device_sdk_version

String

Device SDK information.

auth_info

AuthInfoRes object

Access authentication information about the device.

product_id

String

Unique ID of the product associated with the device.

product_name

String

Name of the product associated with the device.

status

String

Device status.

  • ONLINE: The device is online.

  • OFFLINE: The device is offline.

  • ABNORMAL: The device is abnormal.

  • INACTIVE: The device is not activated.

  • FROZEN: The device is frozen.

create_time

String

Time when the device was registered on the platform. The value is in the format of yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss'Z', for example, 20151212T121212Z.

connection_status_update_time

String

Time of the last device connection status change. Such statuses include ONLINE, OFFLINE, and ABNORMAL. The value is in the format of yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z', for example, 2015-12-12T12:12:122Z.

active_time

String

Time when a device was activated. The value is in the format of yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z', for example, 2015-12-12T12:12:122Z.

tags

Array of TagV5DTO objects

List of device tags.

extension_info

Object

Extended device information, which can be customized. If this parameter is specified for a child device during device creation, the platform will notify the gateway of the extended information using the MQTT API for notifying a gateway of new child device connection.

Table 4 AuthInfoRes

Parameter

Type

Description

auth_type

String

Parameter description: authentication type. If auth_type is not specified, the secret authentication is used. Options:

  • SECRET: The secret authentication is used.

  • CERTIFICATES: The certificate authentication is used.

secret

String

Parameter description: device secret. This parameter is mandatory when auth_type is set to SECRET. Note: Due to protocol restrictions, NB-IoT device secrets must be hexadecimal values. This parameter is not returned when you query a device list. Value: The value can contain 8 to 32 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.

Minimum: 8

Maximum: 32

secondary_secret

String

** Parameter description**: secondary device secret used when the master secret fails to pass the authentication. This parameter is valid when auth_type is set to SECRET. Unavailable for devices accessed using CoAP. Note: Due to protocol restrictions, NB-IoT device secrets must be hexadecimal values. This parameter is not returned when you query a device list. Value: The value can contain 8 to 32 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.

Minimum: 8

Maximum: 32

fingerprint

String

Parameter description: certificate fingerprint. This parameter is valid when auth_type is set to CERTIFICATES. If this parameter is not specified during device registration, the certificate fingerprint used during the first device access is used. Value: The value is a string of 40 or 64 hexadecimal characters.

secondary_fingerprint

String

** Parameter description**: secondary certificate fingerprint used when the master fingerprint fails to pass the authentication. This parameter is valid when auth_type is set to CERTIFICATES. Value: The value is a string of 40 or 64 hexadecimal characters.
