Setting thing shape with rest api

Hi,

Is there a way to set thing shape with rest api as we set thing template? I tired with "thingShapeName" in the Request body of create thing rest api but its not working.

There is a service under Resources/EntityServices called AddShapeToThing that takes two parameters.  If you're calling it via the rest api, you'll likely need to ensure the Thing has been created (and usually re-started using the RestartThing() service if you're creating it via the api) before calling the above service.

      @MM_9628870 ,

       

      Try this link:

       

      <yourTWxServer>/Thingworx/Resources/EntityServices/ServiceDefinitions/

       

      There you should see AddShapeToThing()
