Hi,
I have an application that needs to access the Irregular Rhythm Notifications (IRN) web API Resource.
Currently when using the API request `https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/irn/alerts/list.json` the response says:
Which makes sense. What I've learned so far is that the users have to grant access to the irregular_rhythm_notifications scope but I haven't found the steps to enable it in my app.
This is the list of "scopes" our users see during the OAuth authorization. I don't see anything related to IRN.
- Allow All
- Heart rate
- Profile
- Activity and exercise
- Location and GPS
- Fitbit devices and settings
- Sleep
- Weight
- Food and Water Logs
- Friends
Do I need to configure anything special from my OAuth app? Or How this scope/permission is presented to the users?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!

Hi @alexperto
You enable the IRN scope just like all of the others. You need to add irregular_rhythm_notifications to the authorization string. See https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/authorization/authorize/.
