API Offset parameter

[AlanA]

Hi,  I am implementing Ecostruxure IT and Im testing the API, I have some questions regarding something called offset, I know that we can use this offset to get updated alarms after this offset value, however Im not very sure about this value, can someone explain what exactly is this value and how it is measured in seconds, minutes or what are we referring to when we change this value. I would appreciate your help with more information of this offset value.

Thanks

Hi @AlanA,

The offset is defined in more detail within the EcoStruxure IT Expert Public API Group (found at the top of: https://api.ecostruxureit.com/rest/#/

If you download the ITE Public API Samples zip file and navigate into the README file you will see some details about the offset.  This is just a unique identifier that comes with a response to call that allows you to poll information from that point forward in your next request.

Regards,

Cory
