Gimbal Beacon REST API - get all beacons including third party beacons

Is there a possibility to get all beacon (including third party beacons) of an organization?

I just found this GET call in the API:

https://docs.gimbal.com/rest.html#beacons_get_all

The expected JSON response:

[
    {
        "id": "beacon_id_one",
        "factory_id": "XXXX-ZZZZZ",
        "icon_url": "https://api.getfyx.com/assets/fallback/default_icon.png",
        "name": "John's Beacon one",
        "latitude": 32.7150,
        "longitude": 117.1625,
        "gimbal_latitude": 33.889916,
        "gimbal_longitude": -117.351344,
        "gimbal_location_last_updated_date": "2016-07-22T09:32:02.000Z",
        "visibility": "Private",
        "battery_level": "Battery Level of the Beacon",
        "battery_updated_date": "2016-05-28T15:54:11.000Z",
        "hardware": "Hardware type of the Beacon",
        "owner": "SELF",
        "beacon_attributes": {
            "key1": "value1",
            "key2": "value2"
        }
    },
    {
        "id": "beacon_id_two",
        "factory_id": "XXXX-YYYYY",
        "icon_url": "https://api.getfyx.com/assets/fallback/default_icon.png",
         ...

This is how my request looks like. Response is an HTTP 200 and empty array.

Sadly it doesn’t returns third party beacons.

Solution

  • I've revieved an answer from Gimbal Support:

    To answer your question, no, we do not return 3rd party beacons via our REST API and this feature is not planned for the future

    So it is not possible to get third party beacons via the REST API.
