This URL gives you a list of devices, sorted by "objectID" (descending)
https://prtg.ip/devices.htm?sortby=-objid&columns=objid,probegroupdevice,checkbox&id=0
Since new object IDs are always assigned in increasing numerical order you will get a list of the most recently added devices by sorting all devices using the descending object id.
- Note 1: The "checkbox" column enables the multiedit feature for this list.
- Note 2: The "id=" string can be used to filter the devices for a specific group.
- Note 3: add the following strings to the "columns" parameter to get the sensor counts for each device
&columns=objid,probegroupdevice,downsens,downacksens,upsens,warnsens,pausedsens,unusualsens,undefinedsens,checkbox

The desired functionality is realised with PRTG's application programming interface. For other HTTP API functions, please see Introduction to the PRTG API Interface

Unfortunately, the answer doesn't work because sortby incorrectly sorts objid alphabetically rather than numerically. For example:
https://172.16.2.235/api/table.xml?content=devices&output=xml&columns=objid&sortby=objid&username=admin&passhash=123456789
Results in:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<devices totalcount="20" listend="1">
<prtg-version>18.4.46.1754</prtg-version>

As you can see, the most recent object is neither 10359 nor 9945, but 10360.
