Endpoint API

About endpoints

An endpoint represents an Alexa-connected device (like an Echo device) with which an Alexa customer can interact. In Alexa Smart Properties for hospitality, you manage your Echo devices using the Alexa Smart Properties for hospitality endpoint API. With this API, you can enumerate the devices owned by your Amazon Business account; view and change settings; and associate endpoints with specific rooms.

API endpoint

The endpoint of the Endpoint API is https://api.amazonalexa.com for North America properties or https://api.eu.amazonalexa.com for EU properties.

Authentication

Each API request must have an authorization header whose value is the access token retrieved from Login with Amazon (LWA).

Operations

The Endpoint API includes the following operations.

Enumerate endpoints

Call GET /v2/endpoints?owner=~caller to get the list of endpoints that you registered to your Amazon Business account.

Request format examples

The following examples show how to use this call.

Enumerate endpoints that aren't associated with a unit

The following example lists the endpoints owned by the caller that aren't associated with a unit. By default, the results aren't expanded.

This call only returns endpoints that are not associated with any units. To enumerate endpoints associated with a specific unit, see Enumerate endpoints associated with a unit.

This operation is available in the following countries.

GET /v2/endpoints?owner=~caller HTTP/1.1
Host: api.amazonalexa.com
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {LWA Token}

Response body example

Query the endpoint status

After you've called the PUT associatedUnits API and received a 200 code, the process to associate the endpoint with the unit is complete on the cloud side. However, the physical endpoint must complete an automatic reboot to complete the endpoint-to-unit association on the endpoint side. There are no steps required to automatically reboot the endpoint.

To check if the endpoint has successfully rebooted, you can poll for the connectivity status of the endpoint. We recommend a polling interval of 2 minutes or greater.

When this API returns an endpointId, the endpoint has successfully rebooted and reconnected to the network.

Request example

GET /v2/endpoints?associatedUnits.id=amzn1.alexa.unit.did.foo&connections.macAddress=00:11:22:AA:BB:33:44:55&features[name:connectivity].properties[name:reachability].value.value=OK HTTP/1.1
