Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes BatchUpdateDeviceNickname

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to BatchUpdateDeviceNickname.

IotInstanceId String No iot_instc_pu****_c*-v64********

The ID of the instance. You can view the instance ID on the Overview page in the IoT Platform console.

Notice
  • If your instance has an ID, you must configure this parameter. If you do not set this parameter, the call fails.
  • If your instance has no Overview page or ID, you do not need to set this parameter.

For more information, see Overview.

DeviceNicknameInfo.N.ProductKey String No a1BwAGV****

The ProductKey of the product to which the device belongs.

Note If you specify this parameter, you must also specify the DeviceName parameter.
DeviceNicknameInfo.N.DeviceName String No light

The DeviceName of the device.

Note If you specify this parameter, you must also specify the ProductKey parameter.
DeviceNicknameInfo.N.Nickname String No AliyunDataCenter

The new alias of the device. The alias must be 4 to 32 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, and underscores (_). Each Chinese character is counted as two characters.

DeviceNicknameInfo.N.IotId String No Q7uOhVRdZRRlDnTLv****00100

The IotId parameter specifies a globally unique identifier (GUID) of the device, which corresponds to a combination of ProductKey and DeviceName. If you specify both IotId and the combination of ProductKey and DeviceName, IotId takes precedence.
