API Reference
Retrieve Information about Devices
Use this endpoint to retrieve device details and related information.
Uses and Requirements
If you request information for more than one device, each response includes up to 500 devices, sorted by device ID or chronologically by the date the devices were added.
-
To get devices sorted by device ID (recommended), include the
largestDeviceIdSeenparameter in the request. If the request matches more than 500 devices (hasMoreData= true), you can send additional requests, adjusting thelargestDeviceIdSeenvalue each time to start where the previous request finished. -
To get devices sorted by the date they were added to the account, do not include the
largestDeviceIdSeenparameter in the request. If the request matches more than 500 devices (hasMoreData= true), you can send additional requests, adjusting the earliest timestamp in each request to start where the previous request finished.
HTTP Request
POST https://thingspace.verizon.com/api/m2m/v1/devices/actions/list
Resource Path and Query Parameters
None.
Header Parameters
The request header must contain a current ThingSpace authorization bearer token and a valid VZ-M2M session token, and must set the content-type to JSON.
| Parameter Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Authorization (required) | string | HTTP Authorization bearer token. |
| VZ-M2M-Token (required) | string | A valid session token returned by POST /session/login. |
| Content-Type (required) | string | Must be application/json. |
Request Body
In the request body you can either specify one device in the deviceId parameter, or you can use the other parameters to request a list of devices that match the parameter values. A request with no parameters returns all devices that the session user account has access to. A request with just an accountName returns all devices in that account. A request with an accountName and any combination of other parameters includes only those devices that match all criteria.
| Parameter Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| deviceList (optional) | array | An array of deviceId objects to use when requesting information from multiple devices. |
| deviceId (optional) | object | An identifier for a single device, containing a kind and an id. |
| deviceId.kind, deviceId.id (required for deviceId) | string | The type and value of the device identifier: ESN - decimal, 11 digits EID - decimal, 32 digits ICCID - decimal, up to 20 digits IMEI - decimal, up to 16 digits MDN - decimal, a 10 digit phone number MSISDN - decimal, 11 digits |
| accountName (optional but recommended) | string | The billing account for which a list of devices is returned. If you don’t specify an accountName, the list includes all devices to which you have access. An account name is usually numeric, and must include any leading zeros. Coding the account number today prevents future code from breaking if you ever add a new sub-account. |
| filter (optional) | object | Filter the list of devices by partial identifier. |
| filter.deviceIdentifierFilters (required for filter) | array | Specify the kind of the device identifier, the type of match, and the string that you want to match. |
| filter.deviceIdentifierFilters.type (required for deviceIdentifierFilters) | string | The type of match that you’re looking for. Valid types of matches are: contains - The string appears anywhere in the identifer startswith - The identifer must start with the specified string endswith - The identifier must end with the specified string. |
| filter.deviceIdentifierFilters.kind (required for deviceIdentifierFilters) | string | The type of the device identifier to match. Valid types of identifiers are: EID ESN ICCID IMEI MDN MSISDN |
| contains (required for filter) | string | The string to match against device identifiers. The string can be as short as one character, but more characters narrow down the number of results and make it easier to find the device that you’re looking for. |
| groupName (optional) | string | Only include devices that are in this device group. |
| servicePlan (optional) | string | Only include devices that have this service plan. |
| currentState (optional) | string | The name of a device state, to only include devices in that state. |
| customFields (optional) | object | Custom field names and values, if you want to only include devices that have matching values. |
| customFields.key (required for customFields) | string | The name of the custom field. Valid names are CustomField1 , CustomField2 , CustomField3 , CustomField4 and CustomField5 . |
| customFields.value (required for customFields) | string | The value of the custom field. The value is not case-sensitive but other than that it must match exactly with the value set for a device. Wildcards and partial matches are not supported. |
| largestDeviceIdSeen (optional) | long or string | (Output buffering parameter) Only return information about devices that have an ID greater than this value. (These reference IDs are different from other device IDs, such as IMEIs, or ICCIDs.) Device IDs are returned as an extended attribute for each device. For the first request, set this element to zero to retrieve the devices with the smallest IDs. Check the hasMoreData value in the response. If it’s false then you have received the complete list of devices. If hasMoreData is true, send another request, putting the largest returned DeviceId value into this field. Continue sending requests with the largest DeviceId from the latest response until hasMoreData is false. This ensures that all devices are retrieved exactly once with no gaps or overlaps in devices returned by multiple calls to this endpoint. This value can also be set "= 0" if indexing is not needed or if starting at the top of the list. |
| maxNumberOfDevices (optional) | integer | The maximum number of devices to be included in each response. The maximum value is 500. |
| earliest (optional) | string | Only include devices that were added after this date and time. |
| latest (optional) | string | Only include devices that were added before this date and time. |
