Spectrum REST API - how to retrieve thousands of devices

[Diogo Almeida]

Hi!

I am trying to get all the devices (~100K) through webservices with throttlesize=500 but the API doesn't recognize "start" argument, let's see:

The initial query:
GET http://<spectrum>/spectrum/restful/devices?attr=0x1006e&attr=0x12d7f&attr=0x10030&attr=0x10032&attr=0x23000e&attr=0x12bfe&throttlesize=500

The results are fast and at the bottom of XML we get something like:
<link
href="http://<spectrum>/spectrum/restful/devices?id=fb6bd912-0056-4c88-9881-3018644357de&amp;start=1000&amp;throttlesize=1000"
rel="next" type="application/xml"/>

Next query:
GET http://<spectrum>/spectrum/restful/devices?id=fb6bd912-0056-4c88-9881-3018644357de&amp;start=1000&amp;throttlesize=500

Ok, I supposed that this will be the next query and it will returns next results but no, the results are equal.

What I want is to return everything in blocks of 500. Can I do this?

Hi Diogo,

Yes, we can able to fetch the devices as blocks of 500.

I have tested this API and working fine in Our QA Spectrum setup (10.4.1), please find the results in attached files.

I think Spectrum version does not matter here , but what is the your Spectrum Version  ? 

Could you please cross test REST API once and please let us/support know if you need any help.

Thanks
Channa
