Device API Endpoints

Manage a single device by its MAC address. Operations include retrieval, updates, deletion, resetting properties, and copying data between devices. All endpoints require authorization via Bearer token.

1. Retrieve Device Details

  • GET /device/<mac> Fetch all details for a single device, including:

  • Computed status (devStatus) → On-line, Off-line, or Down

  • Session and event counts (devSessions, devEvents, devDownAlerts)
  • Presence hours (devPresenceHours)
  • Children devices (devChildrenDynamic) and NIC children (devChildrenNicsDynamic)

Special case: mac=new returns a template for a new device with default values.

Response (success):

{
  "devMac": "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF",
  "devName": "Net - Huawei",
  "devOwner": "Admin",
  "devType": "Router",
  "devVendor": "Huawei",
  "devStatus": "On-line",
  "devSessions": 12,
  "devEvents": 5,
  "devDownAlerts": 1,
  "devPresenceHours": 32,
