Description
The API devices returns all the devices defined in DMAS which Oceans 3.0 that meet a set of filter criteria.
Devices are instruments that have one or more sensors that observe a property or phenomenon with a goal of producing an estimate of the value of a property. Properties Devices are uniquely identified by a device code and can be deployed at multiple locations during their lifespan.
The primary purpose of the devices service , is to find devices that have the data you are interested in and use the deviceCode when requesting a data product using the dataProductDelivery web service.
See the External Web Services for method, token, and responseType usage and error messages.

API Proxy
The https://data.oceannetworks.ca/apiproxy/devicesURL link in the above examples can be used in a browser for sharing or testing purposes; however, it can not be accessed from code. Calls to the apiproxy server are redirected to a login screen to capture your user id. Accessing the apiproxy URL from code will return html in the payload, which may cause errors or unexpected behavior. In order to use the deployments endpoint from code, you must use the https://data.oceannetworks.ca/api/devices url along with a valid token.
