Gets the lat, lon, and uncertainty values based on the id of the LTE cell passed.
Returns a binary payload or JSON, depending on the format argument. Binary by default. When returning binary, the content-type response header is "application/octet-stream".
```sh
curl -G $API_HOST/v1/location/single-cell -d "mcc=244" -d "mnc=91" -d "tac=4099" -d "eci=36078631" -d "format=json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

- `format` 'json' | 'binary' — Format of the single-cell GET endpoint request. Defaults to binary.

## Headers

- `x-custom-device-id` string — User-defined device ID, used to identify requests when using a cloud-to-cloud integration. Ignored if using a device token.

## Response `200`

Contains file-chunk or JSON response, depending on format param

- union
  - string, byte — Lat/lon/uncertainty as a binary struct.
  - CellResponse
    - `lat` number, double, required — WGS 84 geodetic grid line, north to south.
    - `lon` number, double, required — WGS 84 geodetic grid line, east to west.
    - `uncertainty` number, double, required — Radius of the uncertainty circle around the location in meters. Also known as Horizontal Positioning Error (HPE).
