Hi,
I'm trying to automatically authenticate the fitbit user from my client app ( I have the fitbit user name and pwd in a secure location). Could someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Vipin

I can help by telling you it's not possible:)
To get other user's data you need this user to log in to fitbit and click "Allow" button confirming that he/she allows your app to see his data. There is no other way fitbit can expose user's data thgough the API.

If I have many users registered with their user ID and password on my database through my application, I want to have the application to read their data using the user's ID and password when the user logins to my application. doesn't go through fitbit web login UI.
you said this is not possible?
