Distinguishing between device generated and user entered activities

Is there any way to determine whether an activity was entered manually by the user or generated by a device?

Hi @SunsetRunner,

 

If you look for the logType element when querying the Get Activity Logs List endpoint, you'll see how the activity was recorded:

 

The type of activity log can be determined by the logType property.

  • auto_detected activity logs are those created by Fitbit’s SmartTrack feature.

  • fitstar activity logs are created after completing a FitStar workout.

  • manual activity logs are user specified overrides of some or all tracker data.

  • mobile_run activity logs are created after completing a MobileRun.

  • tracker activity logs are those created using the multisport exercise mode on a Fitbit device.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
