Create a terminal action
Schedules a terminal action by specifying the action and the terminals that the action must be applied to.
The following restrictions apply:
- You can schedule only one action at a time. For example, to install a new app version and remove an old app version, you have to make two API requests.
- The maximum number of terminals in a request is 100. For example, to apply an action to 250 terminals, you have to divide the terminals over three API requests.
- If there is an error with one or more terminal IDs in the request, the action is scheduled for none of the terminals. You need to fix the error and try again.
To make this request, your API credential must have the following role:
- Management API—Terminal actions read and write
Request Parameters
Information about the action to take.
The date and time when the action should happen. Format: RFC 3339, but without the Z before the time offset. For example, 2021-11-15T12:16:21+0100 The action is sent with the first maintenance call after the specified date and time in the time zone of the terminal. An empty value causes the action to be sent as soon as possible: at the next maintenance call.
The unique ID of the store. If present, all terminals in the terminalIds list must be assigned to this store.
A list of unique IDs of the terminals to apply the action to. You can extract the IDs from the GET /terminals response. Maximum length: 100 IDs.
Response parameters
After submitting a call, you receive a response message to inform you that your request was received and processed.
Depending on the HTTP status code of the response message, it is helpful to build some logic to handle any errors that a request or the system may return.
