Try with a different search term
I am trying to search for devices using the REST API. Searching for things like DeviceId, MACAddress, and Model are pretty straight forward. Howerver I don't understand how to search for CustomAttributes.
The API Reference shows:
The custom attribute I want to search for looks like this:
I was thinking it should look like this, but it doesn't work:
CustomAttributes=[{'Name'}:{'Assigned Site Number'},{'Value'}:{'209'}]
Does Any have an example of what my filter parameter should look like?
Assuming you are using the API GET devices/search, here's an example to find devices with value of customer attribute "test" set to "1"
CustomAttribute['test'] = '1'
Note: you will need to double encode the above filter value -- CustomAttribute%255B%2527test%2527%255D%2520%253D%2520%25271%2527
Interesting the reference guide shows that it should be plural CustomAttributes
However the plural throws and error and yours is correct. Maybe the documentation should be changed?
Your example works, returning 200 response code on my server. Adapting it to my use case should be:
custom attribute "Assigned Site Number" is set to "209"
CustomAttribute['Assigned Site Number'] = '209'
CustomAttribute%255B%2527Assigned%2520Site%2520Number%2527%255D%2520%3D%2520%2527209%2527
It doesn't like the search:
If you are trying it out in the Swagger (API Documentation) page then you should only single encode the value
Try
CustomAttribute%5B%27Assigned%20Site%20Number%27%5D%20=%20%27209%27
I finally got it to work! The last holdup was because the custom attribute I was searching is a numeric type. So, it was failing because of the quotes around 209. This is what the final working filter looks like:
CustomAttribute['Assigned Site Number'] = 209
Thanks for you help!
