18 REST API Guide – OpenManage Essentials | Version 1.0
2.2.2 Changed Device Information
The changed device information can be obtained by the following REST API:
<BASE_URI>/Devices/{AddedOrUpdatedTimestamp}&{DeletedTimestamp}
The values of the AddedOrUpdatedTimestamp and DeletedTimestamp would have been obtained by a
previous call to the <BASE_URI>/Devices REST API.
This particular REST API will typically be used by a consumer that does its own device management and
tracking periodically based on a particular polling cycle. Instead of getting the whole list of devices to
determine the changes, the consumer will be able to retrieve only the changed device information based
on the timestamps obtained in a previous call.
2.3 Device Inventory
The URIs described in this section can be used to retrieve more detailed inventory for each device. The
DEVICE_BASE_URI is based on the parent group scope or the device scope.
Operations supported: GET (for all inventory operations)
