Retrieving the Machine’s ID

To retrieve a machine’s ID using its serial number, you need to use the Get All Machines endpoint. By providing the device’s serial number in the request you can retrieve the corresponding machine’s unique identifier. The code block below exemplifies the request, using the DeviceSerial as a query parameter to filter the result: 
curl -X GET "https://lynx.nayax.com/operational/api/v1/machines?DeviceSerial=<DEVICE_SERIAL_NUMBER>" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Remember to replace <DEVICE_SERIAL_NUMBER> with the actual device’s serial number.
The response will include details about the machine, including the Machine’s ID.
