Authentication: All endpoints require a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>

Overview

The inventory_device_nameInventory Device Name API category is designedthe core interface for managing network devices within an organization's infrastructure. These endpoints serve as the coreZequenze interfaceControl forsystem. This API category handles device inventorylifecycle management, allowingfrom youinitial to:registration through ongoing monitoring and maintenance operations.

Key capabilities include:

  • TrackDevice deviceRegistration inventory& Management: acrossAdd, multiple organizationsupdate, and locationsremove devices from your inventory
  • MonitorStatus Monitoring: Track device statusconnectivity, configuration state, and healthoperational with real-time updatesstatus
  • ManageRemote deviceOperations: configurations including firmware updates and settings synchronization
ControlExecute device operations such aslike reboots, factory resets, and configuration reapplicationsynchronization FilterLocation & Organization: Organize devices by location and searchorganization devicesfor better management Firmware Management: usingHandle multiplefirmware criteria like type, status, organization,updates and locationversion tracking CWMP/TR-069 Integration: Support for standard device management protocols

The API supportsuses bothdevice names as the primary identifier for individual device operationsoperations, while supporting various filtering options for bulk operations. All device data includes both user-configurable fields (byname, name)location, credentials) and bulksystem-generated operations across device collections. Each device is uniquely identified by its name and contains comprehensive metadata including hardware/software versions, serial numbers, location data, and operational status.

Key concepts include device typesinformation (configurationstatus, templates),connection organizationshistory, (forhardware multi-tenant environments), firmware management, and various operational states that control device behavior and connectivity.details).

Endpoints

GET /inventory_device_name/

Execute remote operations on yourdevices maintenanceusing requirements.PATCH with operation flags like reboot, sync, factory reset.

# Reboot a device
PATCH /inventory_device_name/device-name/ with {"reboot": true}

# Factory reset and reconfigure
PATCH /inventory_device_name/device-name/ with {"factory": true, "reconf": true}
