About device ID

When attempting to query an Aurora Focus API call that utilizes a device ID value, be aware of the following:

See the following table to reference the format for the Aurora Focus API device ID value:

Product

Format example

Aurora Focus

45E07F34E76B4A9EB167D6D0C510D6BA (upper case without dashes)

Passing the device ID value as the Aurora Protect Desktop format will return an HTTP 200 status, as if the call was successful, but you will receive an incorrect response.

Aurora Protect Desktop

45e07f34-e76b-4a9e-b167-d6d0c510d6ba (lower case with dashes)

To obtain the device ID, you must query the Aurora Protect Desktop API, then format the device ID to match the Aurora Focus format (see example above).

This query can be found in the Device API section of this document. Use the Get Devices and Get Device requests from the guide. The device ID value is the field titled "id".
