# Register device

POST https://api-sandbox.payabli.com/api/Cloud/register/{entry}
Content-Type: application/json

Register a cloud device to an entrypoint. See [Devices Quickstart](/developer-guides/devices-quickstart#devices-quickstart) for a complete guide.

Reference: https://beta-docs.payabli.com/api-reference/cloud/register-cloud-device

## Authentication

- `requestToken` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Servers

- `https://api-sandbox.payabli.com/api` (Sandbox, default)
- `https://api.payabli.com/api` (Production)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `entry` (string, required) — The paypoint's entrypoint identifier. [Learn more](/api-reference/api-overview#entrypoint-vs-entry)

### Headers

- `idempotencyKey` (string, optional) — A unique ID you can include to prevent duplicating objects or transactions if a request is sent more than once. This key is not generated in Payabli, you must generate it yourself.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `description` (string, optional) — Description or name for the device. This can be anything, but Payabli recommends entering the name of the paypoint, or some other easily-identifiable descriptor. If you have several devices for one paypoint, you can give them descriptions like "Cashier 1" and "Cashier 2", or "Front Desk" and "Back Office"
- `registrationCode` (string, optional) — The device registration code or serial number, depending on the model. - Ingenico devices: This is the activation code that's displayed on the device screen during setup. - PAX A920 device: This code is the serial number on the back of the device.

## Response

### 200

Success

- `isSuccess` (boolean, optional) — Boolean indicating whether the operation was successful. A `true` value indicates success. A `false` value indicates failure.
- `pageIdentifier` (string, optional) — Auxiliary validation used internally by payment pages and components.
- `responseData` (string, optional) — If `isSuccess` = true, this contains the device identifier. If `isSuccess` = false, this contains the reason for the error.
- `responseText` (string, optional) — Response text for operation: 'Success' or 'Declined'.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad request/ invalid data

- `isSuccess` (boolean, optional) — Boolean indicating whether the operation was successful. A `true` value indicates success. A `false` value indicates failure.
