API vs Application data mismatch

‎06-28-2025 10:39

‎06-28-2025 10:39

We're using the following Fitbit Web API endpoints to retrieve 1-minute resolution data for calories, steps, and distance:

/1/user/-/activities/calories/date/[DATE]/1d/1min.json

/1/user/-/activities/steps/date/[DATE]/1d/1min.json

/1/user/-/activities/distance/date/[DATE]/1d/1min.json

However, the data returned by the API does not match what the user sees in their Fitbit mobile app for the same day.

We are not passing any timezone parameters, assuming that the default behavior is to return data in the user’s local timezone.

Any insights, suggestions, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
