Retrieve the Status of a Device Based on the Request Type:

POST /diagnostics/basic/devicereachability/status

Retrieves the reachability status of a device.

Contents

Uses and Requirements

This API allows a calling application to request near real-time status of reachability of a device within a stipulated time. This is a single device API (does not support bulk request operation). It provides a 200 OK synchronous response followed by a callback that conditionally provides a status in this callback if the device is reachable. If a status is not provided in this callback, for example if the device is not reachable at the time of the request, a second callback following the first one provides the status. (The application should be programmed accordingly to handle this scenario).

Request

HTTP Request

POST https://thingspace.verizon.com/api/m2m/v1/diagnostics/basic/devicereachability/status

Query Parameters

None.

Header Parameters

Parameter Name Data Type Description
Authorization
required
string HTTP Authorization bearer token.
VZ-M2M-Token
required
string A valid session token returned by POST /api/m2m/v1/session/login.
Content-Type
required
string Must be application/json.

Request Body

Parameter Name Data Type Description
accountName
required
string The name of a billing account, which is usually in the format of 10 digits, a hyphen, and then five more digits. Must include any leading zeros.
device
required
device identifier object Object identifies the device that you want to know reachability: ·
  • kind: the type of the identifier (IMEI, MDN, MSISDN, ICCID); Required for IoT devices; not needed for consumer devices.
  • id: device identifier value; Required for IoT devices; not needed for consumer devices.
requestType
required
string Valid values include:
  • REACHABLE_FOR_DATA
  • REACHABLE_FOR_SMS
  • LOSS_OF_CONNECTIVITY
Note: REACHABLE_FOR_SMS is not supported for Higher Category LTE devices (IMS devices).
requestExpirationTime string

Identifies the absolute time at which the reachability request is considered to expire, from 6 months to 10 years.

The format should be aligned with RFC3339, example: “2017-12-19T16:39:57-08:00” (in UTC passed as String)

Limit to 10 years max (3650 days, to be precise).

Optional, if not included, ThingSpace starts a timer for 1 hour (default value).

Example Request Body

{
  "accountName": "0242072320-00001",
  "requestType": "REACHABLE_FOR_DATA",
  "requestExpirationTime": "2019-12-02T15:00:00-08:00Z",
  "device": {
    "id": "12016560696",

  }
}

Success Response

Status 200

Success Response with the body of the response includes request ID that can be used to correlate the callbacks.

Parameter Name Data Type Description
requestID
required
string

A unique string that associates the request with the reachability information that is sent in asynchronous callback message (Callback Service set to “DiagnosticsService”).

ThingSpace sends a separate callback message for each device that was in the request. All of the callback messages have the same requestID.

Example Success Response

Status 200

{
  "requestId": "595f5c44-c31c-4552-8670-020a1545a84d"
}

Error response

Status 400

Failure Response with the body of the response includes errorResponse.

Parameter Name Data Type Description
errorResponse errorResponse object

errorResponse object contains:

  • errorCode
  • errorMessage

Error codes and messages are listed on the Error Codes page, along with explanations and suggestions for corrective actions.

Reachability Parameters

reachabilityStatus CallBack Parameters

Parameter Name Data Type Description
requestId
required
string

A unique string that associates the request with the reachability information that is sent in asynchronous callback message.

ThingSpace sends a separate callback message for each device that was in the request. All of the callback messages have the same requestId.

deviceIds
required
Array of device identifier objects

Only one object with {kind, id} where kind shall be same as the one in initial request from customer:

  • kind: the type of the identifier (IMEI, MDN, MSISDN, ICCID)
  • id: a device identifier value
status
required
string Success, Failed
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.deviceIdentifierCollection Array of device identifier objects

All the non-null device identifiers for the device:

  • kind: the type of the identifier (IMEI, MDN, MSISDN, ICCID)
  • id: a device identifier value

Only included in Initial Callback of registration of event

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.monitorId string

The ID of the registered monitor (UUID), which could be used by the customer when stopping the monitoring on this particular monitor.

This field is present only if status is SUCCESS.

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.accountName
required
string The name of a billing account, which is usually in the format of 10 digits, a hyphen, and then five more digits. Must include any leading zeros.
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.reportedTime
required
string

Identifies the absolute time at which the reachability report is received from SCEF.

The format should be aligned with RFC3339, example: “2017-12-19T16:39:57-08:00” (in UTC passed as String)

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.registrationType string

EVENT_REGISTER_FOR_DATA EVENT_REGISTER_FOR_SMS EVENT_REGISTER_FOR_CONNECTION_LOSS

Only included in Initial Callback of registration of event

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.reason string

“Internal error”, “Device doesn’t belong to the account”

Only included if status is Failed

diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.notificationReport string REACHABLE_FOR_DATA
REACHABLE_FOR_SMS
LOSS_OF_CONNECTIVITY
STATUS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
diagnosticsResponse.deviceReachabilityResponse.maxUEAvailabilityTime DateTime The timestamp (UTC) until which a device using a power-saving mechanism (CAT M or NB-IoT device) is expected to be reachable for DATA/SMS Delivery. Only sent when notificationReport value is REACHABLE_FOR_DATA/REACHABLE_FOR_SMS. 

This parameter will not be present if the device is anything other than a CAT-M or NB-IOT device. For CAT-M or NB-IOT device, this parameter may only be present if it is generated for PSM/eDRX wakeups; it may not be provided in other cases.
