Can i get heading/bearing from api?

Hi,

I am trying to get the heading/orientation/bearing from the API but I can't seem to find any information about it.
It is not a part of the position object.

Is it possible or do i have to calculate the heading from using the last 2 positions ?

I currently am getting all the information i need minus this last piece.

Thank you in advance.

It is definitely a part of position object. It's called course.

Awesome thanks,

I was looking for a different name.

Can you please tell me what units it is in?
degrees around up axis?

cheers

Yes, it's in degrees. Zero means North.
