Querying Historical Device Shadow Data

Typical Scenario

When an NA modifies the configuration of a device shadow by calling the API for modifying device shadow information, 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.

totalCount

Long

Indicates the number of queried records.

pageNo

Long

Indicates the page number.

Parameter

Type

Description

serviceId

String(256)

Identifies a service.

deviceId

String(256)

Identifies a device.

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 a non-directly 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)

Uniquely identifies an NA.

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.
