Input Parameter
Description
requestor
The Programmer requestorId for which this operation is valid.
deviceId
The device id bytes.
resource
A string that contains a resourceId (or MRSS fragment), identifies the content requested by a user and is recognized by MVPD authorization endpoints.
device_info/

X-Device-Info
Streaming Device information.

Note: This MAY be passed device_info as a URL paramater, but due to the potential size of this paramater and limitations on the length of a GET URL, it SHOULD be passed as X-Device-Info n the http header.

See the full details in Passing Device and Connection Information.
deviceType
The device type (for example, Roku, PC).

If this parameter is set correctly, ESM offers metrics that are [broken down per device type]/(help/authentication/entitlement-service-monitoring-overview.md#clientless_device_type) when using Clientless, so that different types of analysis can be performed for. For example, Roku, AppleTV, and Xbox.

See Benefits of using clientless devicetype parameter

Note: the device_info will replace this parameter.
deviceUser
The device user identifier.

Note: If used, deviceUser should have the same values as in the Create Registration Code request.
appId
The application id/name.

Note: the device_info replaces this parameter. If used, appId should have the same values as in the Create Registration Code request.
