RAW MESSAGE:
{"errors":[{"errorType":"insufficient_scope","message":"This application does not have permission to access profile data. Visit https://dev.fitbit.com/docs/oauth2 for more information on the Fitbit Web API authorization process."}],"success":false} |
Status Message:
the HTTP response code of 403 indicated a client error. The response data may contain a reason. |
Status Value :
Neutral: HTTP response code not within 200 range |
Please do help me on this regard as i tried to debug this many ways but still ending up with the same response code.
I am trying with these 2 grant codes from my system
Client credentials |

@Krish123 Insufficient scope means the user did not grant the scopes required (profile scope in this case) that you would need in order to fetch that data.

Hello @AndrewFitbit I'm having the same issue with an android application. I'm trying to fetch heartrate data but I get an insufficient scope error for profile data even though I approved permission for heart rate data

Hi @Brainuso, would you please send me the API call you're executing that's returning an error, and provide me with the exact error message you're receiving?
Thanks!
