## Modules to Import


```
import bluetooth from '@system.bluetooth';
```


## bluetooth.startBLEScan(OBJECT)

Scans for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices nearby. This operation consumes system resources. Call [bluetooth.stopBLEScan](#bluetoothstopblescanobject) to stop the scan after a BLE device is detected and connected.

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.DISCOVER_BLUETOOTH and ohos.permission.LOCATION

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.Bluetooth.Lite

**Parameters**

**Table 1** StartBLEScanOptions

| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| interval | number | No| Interval for reporting device information, in milliseconds. The default value is **0**, which means to report the detected device immediately and report other information at the given interval.|
| success | Function | No| Called when the operation is successful.|
| fail | Function | No| Called when the operation fails.|
| complete | Function | No| Called when the execution is complete.|

**Example**

  ```
  bluetooth.startBLEScan({
    success() {
      console.log('call bluetooth.startBLEScan success.');
    },
    fail(code, data) {
      console.log('call bluetooth.startBLEScan failed, code: ${code}, data: ${data}.');
    },
    complete() {
      console.log('call bluetooth.startBLEScan complete.');
    }
  });
  ```


## bluetooth.stopBLEScan(OBJECT)

Stops scanning for BLE devices nearby. This API is used with [bluetooth.startBLEScan(OBJECT)](#bluetoothstartblescanobject) in pairs.

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.DISCOVER_BLUETOOTH and ohos.permission.LOCATION

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.Bluetooth.Lite

**Parameters**

**Table 2** StopBLEScanOptions

| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| success | Function | No| Called when the operation is successful.|
| fail | Function | No| Called when the operation fails.|
| complete | Function | No| Called when the execution is complete.|

**Example**

  ```
  bluetooth.stopBLEScan({
    success() {
      console.log('call bluetooth.stopBLEScan success.');
    },
    fail(data, code) {
      console.log('call bluethooth.stopBLEScan fail, code: ${code}, data: ${data}.');
    },
    complete() {
      console.log('call bluethooth.stopBLEScan complete.');
    }
  });
  ```


## bluetooth.subscribeBLEFound(OBJECT)

Subscribes to the newly detected BLE device. If this API is called multiple times, the last call takes effect.

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.DISCOVER_BLUETOOTH and ohos.permission.LOCATION

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.Bluetooth.Lite

**Parameters**

**Table 3** SubscribeBLEFoundOptions

| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| success | Function | Yes| Called to report the newly detected device.|
| fail | Function | No| Called when the operation fails.|

**Table 4** Return value in success

| Name| Type| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| devices | Array&lt;BluetoothDevice&gt; | List of the newly detected BLE devices.|

**Table 5** BluethoothDevice

| Name| Type| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| addrType | string | Device address type, which can be:<br>-&nbsp;**public**: a public address<br>-&nbsp;**random**: a random address|
| addr | string | MAC address of the device.|
| rssi | number | Received signal strength indicator (RSSl) of the device.|
| txpower | string | **txpower** field in the Bluetooth advertising data.|
| data | hex&nbsp;string | Bluetooth advertising data (including advertising data and scan response data), in a hexadecimal string.|

**Example**

  ```
  bluetooth.startaBLEScan({
    success() {
      bluetooth.subscribeBLEFound({
        success(data) {
          const [device] = data.devices;
          if (!!device) {
            bluetooth.stopBLEScan();
          }
        }
      });
    },
    fail(code, data) {
      console.log('Failed to start BLE device scan, code: ${code}, data: ${data}');
    }
  });
  ```


## bluetooth.unsubscribeBLEFound()

Unsubscribes from the newly detected devices.

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.DISCOVER_BLUETOOTH and ohos.permission.LOCATION

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.Bluetooth.Lite

**Example**

  ```
  bluetooth.unsubscribeBLEFound();
  ```
