Bearing (the direction from the search point to another user) is included in the server response for nearby users, see #4.

Bearing is given as a number of clockwise degrees from due north, for example:

• 0 - due north
• 180 - due south
• 90 - due east
• 270 - due west
• 230.1 - southwest
• 359.9 - almost due north

How to get user update for your master user (single user):

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'Authorization: Token token="wsjdhkjhksfdjhk"' -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/users/2

Number 2 at the end of the url is the id for the master user. Change this number according to the result from the compass algorithm.

The response looks like this:

{
   "id":2,
   "username":"test",
   "distance":0.0,
   "bearing":90.0,
   "friend":false,
   "song":{
      "name":"Firestone",
      "artist":"Conrad, Kygo",
      "uri":"spotify:track:2sNvitW3TxiTeC9xT9f2ZZ",
      "image_url":"https://i.scdn.co/image/4e3a6b099bb58c6da54502a516b3aea2c0a7b2a8"
   }
}
