  title: BodyTrace RPM Data Alerts Data Messages API
  description: 'HTTP API for BodyTrace cellular-connected remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices - blood pressure monitors, body-weight scales, and pulse oximeters. Devices transmit measurements directly over the cellular network to the BodyTrace platform; healthcare organizations then read those readings over this API. Authentication is HTTP Basic using credentials issued by BodyTrace.

    Scope and honesty note: BodyTrace does not publish an open, self-serve developer portal - device provisioning and API credentials are arranged through BodyTrace sales, and the reference docs live behind partner onboarding (BodyTrace''s own docs plus integrator guides such as Validic). The one endpoint publicly and repeatedly documented in the wild is the data values pull, `GET /1/device/{imei}/datavalues`, and the device push message payload. Those are marked CONFIRMED below. The remaining operations (raw data messages, device listing/status, alerts, and provisioning) are HONESTLY MODELED from BodyTrace''s documented IMEI-centric data model and RPM feature set; their exact paths and parameters should be verified against the partner documentation you receive with credentials. Modeled operations carry `x-endpoint-status: modeled`; confirmed ones carry `x-endpoint-status: confirmed`.

    Delivery model: readings can be pulled from the data values endpoint on a polling loop, or pushed by BodyTrace to a customer-hosted HTTP endpoint (a webhook you host and secure). There is no documented public WebSocket surface.'

      summary: Get raw device data messages
      description: Retrieve the raw, per-transmission messages a device has sent over the cellular network for a given IMEI and time range. Each message mirrors the payload BodyTrace devices emit (deviceId, ts, batteryVoltage, rssi, and a values object). MODELED - the message payload shape is confirmed from BodyTrace's documented device messages, but this read/query surface is gated behind partner credentials; verify path and parameters against your onboarding docs.
