403 Forbidden error

[Krish123]

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to FITBIT using OAUTH Provider 2.0 from a web application and i am doing a REST call.

I am getting the 403 error and here are the error details:

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

Grant types

Client credentials

Authorization code

@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!
