External Device feature is a method of adding arbitrary external devices to the system. Such devices have MAC, unique id, and other virtual attributes, but they cannot be managed (configured).
Kontakt.io External Device API is one of 30 APIs that Kontakt.io publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include External Device. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, a changelog, and rate-limit docs.
This API exposes
5 operations
across 4 paths,
and defines 57 schemas.
It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 10.
Requests are made against 2 base URLs: https://dm-api.cloud.us.kontakt.io, https://dm-api.cloud.uk.kontakt.io.

Metadata
The identity and technical contract details declared by the specification.
Kontakt.io External Device API declares
3 security schemes
for authenticating requests.
It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (JWT) (bearer_token).
An API key is passed in the header as Api-Key (api_key).
An API key is passed in the header as Api-Key (management_api_key).
By default, every request must be authenticated.
