Excerpt
DescriptionGet information, such as the device type, serial number, International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI), owner of the registered device, version and model, of the Android devices

Using this REST API you are able to request for Android device details. Once this REST API is executed it will be in the Android operation queue until the device calls the server to retrieve the list of operations that needs to be executed on the device.

Resource Path/device-info
URL/mdm-android-agent/operation/device-info
HTTP MethodPOST

cURL command
Code Block
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <EMM_API_TOKEN>" -d @'<JSON_PAYLOAD>' -k -v https://<EMM_HOST>:<EMM_HTTPS_PORT>/mdm-android-agent/operation/device-info
  • For more information on how to generate the EMM API token, see Generating the OAuth 2.0 Access Token.
  • Define the path to the JSON file, which includes the required properties to carry out the operation, as the <JSON_PAYLOAD> value. For more information, see the Sample JSON Definition.
  • By default, <EMM_HOST> is localhost. However, if you are using a public IP, the respective IP address or domain needs to be specified.
  • By default, <EMM_HTTPS_PORT> has been set to 9443. However, if the port offset has been incremented by n, the default port value needs to be incremented by n.

Example:

Code Block
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer e56974e8bf5df15748f89c6c5da9835d" -d @'operation.json' -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-android-agent/operation/device-info
Note
Once this operation is invoked via the REST API, the user needs to refresh the device management page in the EMM console to see the latest device information. For more information, see Viewing Device Specific Information.
