Extract OS version of all the devices

[laurentdelosier]

Good afternoon,

We are trying to export the properties of all the devices registered in the Google console for audit purposes. However, the OS version is not fully extracted. For instance, for Windows devices, the revision number is cut off (10.0.19045 instead of 10.0.19045.2846), which is quite problematic for us.  We also tried the Cloud Identity API and same result 😞 How can we proceed ?



Best,

L.

Hi @laurentdelosier ,

To confirm, you tried to export the devices list along with the OS version using the Cloud Identity Devices API and the OS is stripped, is that correct?

What you could try is to list the devices using the Directory API, that might have slightly different possibilities and formatting. 

I tried to search for this, and can't see any details around the limits in the documentation, however filtering options within the devices lists describes this field as:

"The exact operating system of the device. For example, "iOS 14.4" or "Chrome OS 13904.66.0". Partial operating system names, such as "iOS 14" or "Android 8", may not return any results."

(If that's not enough, I would suggest sending a feature request)

Hope it helps,
Have a good day,
Marcin

-> Ok, I will try with the Directory API (thanks for the tip).

Hi Marcin,

Directory API only allows you to list Mobile Devices, Chrome Devices, or Chrome Browser Devices unfortunately (see here [1]). I was looking for an API for Endpoint Verification Devices, but this is not available yet as far as I see.
