3 API for listening on nearby ibeacon devices

API Description

The "Get Device Info on H5 Pages" JS APIs are designed to extend the application scenarios of Weixin Shake Nearby, enabling developers to search for nearby Beacon signals by accessing Weixin JS-SDK on their H5 applications. You need to group the devices before calling this API because Weixin app only returns the device information already in the group. For the method of grouping devices, see the API description related to the above group.

The "Get Device Info on H5 Pages" JS APIs includes three APIs: startSearchBeacons, stopSearchBeacons, and onSearchBeacons. Only Weixin 6.2.5 or higher are allowed to use Weixin JS-SDK to call these APIs. The Official Account calling the API must be the same as the Official Account that created the group. Introduce the following JS file in the page that needs to call the JS API (supports HTTPS): http://res.wx.qq.com/open/js/jweixin-1.1.0.js, JS-SDK Description Documentation.

# Enabling the API for Searching for Nearby ibeacon Devices

API Description

Searches for nearby devices. The purpose is to provide merchants with certain development capabilities with an API to find their own nearby devices. On the webpage accessed by Weixin built-in browser, the JS code can be used to search for the nearby device around the merchant, so that the merchant can use this API to check whether there is a device nearby. When Weixin app detects a device with a signal, it will return the device information. The time interval is 1s. Both android and iOS apps return the detected device information in batches.

API Request Format

Example:
wx.startSearchBeacons({
   ticket:"",
   complete:function(argv){
   //Callback function
   }
});

Parameters

Response

Successfully enabled, then return:"startSearchBeacons:ok";

If it is already enabled without stopping, it will return:"startSearchBeacons:already started";

If Bluetooth is not enabled, return:"startSearchBeacons:bluetooth power off";

If the geographic location service is not enabled, return:"startSearchBeacons:location service disable";

If the system is not supported, return:"startSearchBeacons:system unsupported".

API Request Format

Example:
wx.onSearchBeacons({
   complete:function(argv){
   //Callback function
   }
});
