## Response Elements
<a name="API_GetPosition_ResponseElements"></a>

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

 ** [Accuracy](#API_GetPosition_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="iotwireless-GetPosition-response-Accuracy"></a>
The accuracy of the estimated position in meters. An empty value indicates that no position data is available. A value of ‘0.0’ value indicates that position data is available. This data corresponds to the position information that you specified instead of the position computed by solver.  
Type: [Accuracy](API_Accuracy.md) object

 ** [Position](#API_GetPosition_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="iotwireless-GetPosition-response-Position"></a>
The position information of the resource.  
Type: Array of floats

 ** [SolverProvider](#API_GetPosition_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="iotwireless-GetPosition-response-SolverProvider"></a>
The vendor of the positioning solver.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `Semtech` 

 ** [SolverType](#API_GetPosition_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="iotwireless-GetPosition-response-SolverType"></a>
The type of solver used to identify the position of the resource.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `GNSS` 

 ** [SolverVersion](#API_GetPosition_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="iotwireless-GetPosition-response-SolverVersion"></a>
The version of the positioning solver.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 50.

 ** [Timestamp](#API_GetPosition_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="iotwireless-GetPosition-response-Timestamp"></a>
The timestamp at which the device's position was determined.  
Type: String  
Pattern: `^([\+-]?\d{4}(?!\d{2}\b))((-?)((0[1-9]|1[0-2])(\3([12]\d|0[1-9]|3[01]))?|W([0-4]\d|5[0-2])(-?[1-7])?|(00[1-9]|0[1-9]\d|[12]\d{2}|3([0-5]\d|6[1-6])))([T\s]((([01]\d|2[0-3])((:?)[0-5]\d)?|24\:?00)([\.,]\d+(?!:))?)?(\17[0-5]\d([\.,]\d+)?)?([zZ]|([\+-])([01]\d|2[0-3]):?([0-5]\d)?)?)?)?$`
