Description
Beacon Tools lets you register your Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons with the Google Beacon Registry and create small attachments for them. As a developer, you can then scan for these beacons in your application to ‘serve’ or deliver the registered attachments when the beacons are seen using public APIs such as Google Nearby or the Proximity Beacon API.
