Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes QueryDeviceDesiredProperty

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to QueryDeviceDesiredProperty.
IotInstanceId String No iot_instc_pu****_c*-v64********

The ID of the instance. This parameter is not required for public instances. However, the parameter is required for the instances that you have purchased.

ProductKey String No a1BwAGV****

The ProductKey of the product to which the device belongs.

Note If you specify this parameter, you must also specify the DeviceName parameter.
DeviceName String No light

The name of the device.

Note If you specify this parameter, you must also specify the ProductKey parameter.
Identifier.N RepeatList No Temperature

The identifiers of properties that you want to query.

You can view the property identifiers in the IoT Platform console. Go to the Define Feature tab of the Product Details page.

  • A maximum of 10 identifiers can be specified in a single call.
  • The property identifiers must be unique.
  • If you do not specify this parameter, the desired values of all properties are returned.
IotId String No Q7uOhVRdZRRlDnTLv****00100

The ID of the device. The device ID is issued by IoT Platform.

Note If you specify this parameter, you do not need to specify the ProductKey or DeviceName parameter. The IotId parameter is a globally unique identifier (GUID), and corresponds to a combination of the ProductKey and DeviceName parameters. If you specify the IotId parameter and a combination of the ProductKey and DeviceName parameters at the same time, the IotId parameter is used.

In addition to the preceding operation-specific request parameters, you must specify common request parameters when you call this operation. For more information, see Common request parameters.
