Parameters

device_ids	type: string[]	ID of the Device
name	type: string Optional	Name of Access Codes
starts_at	type: string Optional	From when is the code valid
ends_at	type: string Optional	Code expiry
behavior_when_code_cannot_be_shared	type: enum Optional, default throw	If throw, no access codes will be created if any device cannot share a code. If create_random_code, a random code will be created on devices that cannot share a code.
preferred_code_length	type: number Optional	Preferred code length If the affected devices do not support the preferred code length, Seam reverts to using the shortest supported code length.

Response

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Since each language encapsulates this response inside objects specific to that language and/or implementation, the actual type in your language might differ from what’s written here.
