This API call requires the "cas" value that confirms the Thing settings to be up to date. The "cas" value can be retrieved through Get Thing Information.

Example using cURL:

curl -X PUT \
    --url "https://console.monogoto.io/thing/update/" \
    -H "accept: application/json" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN_HERE}" \
    -d "{\"cas\": \"{CAS}\",\"ThingId\": \"/thing/ThingId_ICCID_{ICCID}\",\"LockMasterImei\": {MASTER_IMEI_STATE},\"MasterIMEI\": \"{DEVICE_IMEI}\"}"

Please note that the above shown command needs to be replaced with information:

  • {TOKEN_HERE} - replace with your token, see Authentication

  • {CAS} - replace with your Thing "cas" value, retrieved via Get Thing Information

  • {THING_ICCID} - replace with ThingId_ICCID_ABC, where ABC is your thing ICCID.

  • {MASTER_IMEI_STATE} - replace with true or false value, depending on what you want to do:

    • true - Enable Master IMEI limitation to allow only our entered device IMEI to get SIM card services

    • false - Disable Master IMEI limitation to allow all devices to work with this Thing

  • {DEVICE_IMEI} - replace with the device IMEI you want to work with this Thing. Note that you can send empty value in order to remove Master IMEI value

Request example:

curl -X PUT \
    --url "https://console.monogoto.io/thing/update/" \
    -H "accept: application/json" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
