Search Parameters and Scope (UserID vs UserToken)

The Web API allows access to the data from your InBody devices. To access the InBody data, the Web API uses two main search parameters: UserID(iD) and UserToken(phone).

UserID(iD): Local Parameter used to search through a specific location's data.
UserToken(Phone): Global Parameter used to search through ALL connected location's data.

This means that when searching data using UserID, you can only access data from the location that your account is linked to. If you wish to access data from another connected location, you must search using UserToken.
