Issue/Introduction

In the UIMAPI I am trying to run some API calls against devices and many of these calls are asking for the csId of a device.

Environment

uimapi - 20.4 or higher

Resolution

You can use the API call devices_bulk_list under the /devices/ callbacks for this purpose  (/uimapi/devices/devices_bulk_list/)

Below is an example of passing a name to this API call and receiving the device details:
