Querying Historical Device Shadow Data

Typical Scenario

When an NA modifies the configuration of a device shadow by calling the Modifying Device Shadow Information API, the IoT platform saves the modification record. If the NA needs to view historical configuration records of the device shadow, the NA can call this API to obtain the records.

API Function

This API is used by an NA to query historical configuration data about a device shadow based on the device ID.

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.

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.

deviceId

Mandatory

String

query

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

gatewayId

Mandatory

String

query

Identifies a gateway. 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 (that is, the gateway) with which it associates.

serviceId

Optional

String

query

Identifies a service.

property

Optional

String

query

Indicates the service attribute.

pageNo

Optional

Integer

query

Indicates the page number to be queried. The value is an integer greater than or equal to 0. The default value is 0, indicating that the first page is queried.

pageSize

Optional

Integer

query

Indicates the number of records to be displayed on each page. Pagination is implemented based on the value of this parameter. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 250. The default value is 25.

startTime

Optional

String

query

Indicates the start time. Historical shadow data generated later than the specified start time is queried. The value is in the format of yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss'Z'. An example value is 20151212T121212Z.

endTime

Optional

String

query

Indicates the end time. Historical shadow data generated earlier than the specified end time is queried. The value is in the format of yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss'Z'. An example value is 20151212T121212Z.

Response Parameters

Status Code: 200 OK

Parameter

Type

Description

totalCount

Long

Indicates the number of queried records.

pageNo

Long

Indicates the page number.

pageSize

Long

Indicates the number of records on each page.

DeviceDesiredHistoryDTO

List<DeviceDesiredHistoryDTO>

Indicates the list of historical device shadow configuration data.

DeviceDesiredHistoryDTO structure:

Parameter

Type

Description

serviceId

String(256)

Identifies a service.

deviceId

String(256)

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

gatewayId

String(256)

Identifies a gateway. 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 (that is, the gateway) with which it associates.

appId

String(256)

Identifies the application to which the device belongs.

desired

JsonObject

Indicates the configuration information delivered to the device.

timestamp

String(256)

Indicates the timestamp when the data is configured. The value is in the format of yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss'Z', for example, 20151212T121212Z.
