API Constraints

This API needs to be authenticated with a valid user authentication token. If the auth token is not present or is invalid, the API will return HTTP Status Code 401.
Each customer is allowed to send a limited number of requests per minute to prevent server overload. If the limit is exceeded, the server will respond with a 429 Too Many Requests status code.
If the auth token is valid, but the user does not have the authorization to generate device ID, then the API will return HTTP Status Code 403. The user, whose auth token is used, should have an Admin role for the particular VAT used in the request.
