Possible to get device serial number from API?

Is it possible to get the serial number from an API call? 

It seems that the user id and device id are not the same as the serial number.

@lhannell I recommend you ask on the Web API forum:

@lhannell yes the user ID is the ID of your account. Since it is possible to change, add a tracker, or give a tracker the serial number needs to stay with the tracker. 

So yes every tracker has a serial number and a unique Bluetooth MAC address, i think. I say i think because the Fitbit server uses the MAC to identify the tracker, so it is possible that the two might be the same, but unlikely. 

There should be a list of the calls in their Wiki

I've moved your post to theweb API as @bbarrera suggests.

@lhannell No, it's not possible. What would be the use case for retrieving serial number?
