If this API executes successfully, it returns:

{
	"id": "device@59007191"
}


Example:

Get the device id of the device name phone1.

Warm tip:
Get the token needed for Total Control script development,see here.

RingoJS Example:
// Import the packages
var {request} = require("ringo/httpclient");
var base64 = require("ringo/base64");

// The username and password are separated by a single : and sent on the wire base64 encoded
var userpass = base64.encode("sigma:3D391497");

// First step: Get the API token
var gettoken = request({
	method: "GET",
	url: "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/login",
	headers: {
		"Authorization": userpass
	}
});
var ret_token = JSON.parse(gettoken.content); 
var token = ret_token.value.token; 
print("//The value of token is:" + token);

// Second step: Get the device id value of the master device
var getdevice = request({
	method: "GET",
	url: "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/devices",
	data: {
		"q": "name",
		"name": "Mobile3",
		"token": token
	}
	});
print("//Get the device id,Return value: "+getdevice.content);
var device = JSON.parse(getdevice.content).id; 
print("//The value of device ID is:"+ device);
The running result of the RingoJS:

If it executes successfully, it will return:

//The value of token is:p150XKR61SaJ6z9G
//Get the device id,Return value: {"id":"device@230441652"}
//The value of device ID is:device@230441652
Python Example:
#!/user/bin/python
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-
import base64
import requests

# The username and password are separated by a single : and sent on the wire base64 encoded
user_pass = 'sigma:3D391497'
encodeStr = base64.b64encode(user_pass.encode("UTF-8"))

# First step: Get the API token
LoginUrl = "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/login"
response = requests.get(LoginUrl, headers={'Authorization':encodeStr})
print("Get the token,Return value: ",response.json())
token = response.json()['value']['token']
print("The value of token is: ",token)

# Second step: Get the device id value of the master device
if token is not None:
    GetDeviceUrl = "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/devices?q=name&name=phone1&token=" + token
    response = requests.get(url=GetDeviceUrl)
    print("Get the device id,Return value: ", response.json())
    device = response.json()['id']

    if device is not None:
        print("The value of device id is: ", device)
    else:
        print("Failed to get device id.")
else:
    print("Failed to get token.")
The running result of the python:

If it executes successfully, it will return:

Get the token,Return value:  {'status': True, 'value': {'token': 'SPQxpZO2Qz79oFWG'}}
The value of token is:  SPQxpZO2Qz79oFWG
Get the device id,Return value:  {'id': 'device@33254183'}
The value of device id is:  device@33254183
