| 13 | +# How to use the IoT Central REST API to manage organizations |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The IoT Central REST API lets you develop client applications that integrate with IoT Central applications. You can use the REST API to manage organizations in your IoT Central application. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +> [!TIP] |
| 18 | +> The [organizations feature](howto-create-organizations.md) is currently available in [preview API](/rest/api/iotcentral/1.1-previewdataplane/users). |
| 19 | +
|
| 20 | +Every IoT Central REST API call requires an authorization header. To learn more, see [How to authenticate and authorize IoT Central REST API calls](howto-authorize-rest-api.md). |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +For the reference documentation for the IoT Central REST API, see [Azure IoT Central REST API reference](/rest/api/iotcentral/). |

| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Organizations REST API |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The IoT Central REST API lets you: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +* Add an organization to your application |
| 31 | +* Get an organization by ID |
| 32 | +* Update an organization in your application |
| 33 | +* Get a list of the organizations in the application |
| 34 | +* Delete an organization in your application |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Create organizations |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The REST API lets you create organizations in your IoT Central application. Use the following request to create an organization in your application: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```http |
| 41 | +PUT https://{subdomain}.{baseDomain}/api/organizations/{organizationId}?api-version=1.1-preview |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +* organizationId - Unique ID of the organization |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The following example shows a request body that adds an organization to a IoT Central application. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +```json |
| 49 | +{ |
| 50 | + "displayName": "Seattle", |
| 51 | +} |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The request body has some required fields: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +* `@displayName`: Display name of the organization. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The request body has some optional fields: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +* `@parent`: ID of the parent of the organization. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + If you don't specify a parent, then the organization gets the default top-level organization as its parent. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +The response to this request looks like the following example: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +```json |
| 67 | +{ |
| 68 | + "id": "seattle", |
| 69 | + "displayName": "Seattle" |
| 70 | +} |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +You can create an organization with hierarchy, for example you can create a sales organization with a parent organization. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +The following example shows a request body that adds an organization to a IoT Central application. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```json |
| 78 | +{ |
| 79 | + "displayName": "Sales", |
| 80 | + "parent":"seattle" |
| 81 | +} |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +The response to this request looks like the following example: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +```json |
| 87 | +{ |
| 88 | + "id": "sales", |
| 89 | + "displayName": "Sales", |
| 90 | + "parent":"Seattle" |
| 91 | +} |
| 92 | +``` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### Get an organization |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +Use the following request to retrieve details of an individual organization from your application: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +```http |
| 101 | +GET https://{subdomain}.{baseDomain}/api/organizations/{organizationId}?api-version=1.1-preview |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +The response to this request looks like the following example: |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +```json |
| 107 | +{ |
| 108 | + "id": "seattle", |
| 109 | + "displayName": "Seattle", |
| 110 | + "parent": "washington" |
| 111 | +} |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +### Update an organization |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Use the following request to update details of an organization in your application: |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +```http |
| 119 | +PATCH https://{subdomain}.{baseDomain}/api/organizations/{organizationId}?api-version=1.1-preview |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +The following example shows a request body that updates an organization. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +```json |
| 125 | +{ |
| 126 | + "id": "seattle", |
| 127 | + "displayName": "Seattle Sales", |
| 128 | + "parent": "washington" |
| 129 | +} |
| 130 | +``` |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +The response to this request looks like the following example: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +```json |
| 135 | +{ |
| 136 | + "id": "seattle", |
| 137 | + "displayName": "Seattle Sales", |
| 138 | + "parent": "washington" |
| 139 | +} |
| 140 | +``` |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +### List organizations |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +Use the following request to retrieve a list of organizations from your application: |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +```http |
| 147 | +GET https://{your app subdomain}.azureiotcentral.com/api/organizations?api-version=1.1-preview |
| 148 | +``` |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +The response to this request looks like the following example. |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +```json |
| 153 | +{ |
| 154 | + "value": [ |
| 155 | + { |
| 156 | + "id": "washington", |
| 157 | + "displayName": "Washington" |
| 158 | + }, |
| 159 | + { |
| 160 | + "id": "redmond", |
| 161 | + "displayName": "Redmond" |
| 162 | + }, |
| 163 | + { |
| 164 | + "id": "bellevue", |
| 165 | + "displayName": "Bellevue" |
| 166 | + }, |
| 167 | + { |
| 168 | + "id": "spokane", |
| 169 | + "displayName": "Spokane", |
| 170 | + "parent": "washington" |
| 171 | + }, |
| 172 | + { |
| 173 | + "id": "seattle", |
| 174 | + "displayName": "Seattle", |
| 175 | + "parent": "washington" |
| 176 | + } |
| 177 | + ] |
| 178 | +} |
| 179 | +``` |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | + The organizations Washington, Redmond, and Bellevue will automatically have the application's default top-level organization as their parent. |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +### Delete an organization |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +Use the following request to delete an organization: |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +```http |
| 188 | +DELETE https://{your app subdomain}.azureiotcentral.com/api/organizations/{organizationId}?api-version=1.1-preview |
| 189 | +``` |
