Fitbit Triggers accessible from IFTTT

[GeekBit]

Hi,

I created an applet in IFTT (https://ifttt.com) using Fitbits Trigger called New weight logged
(This Trigger fires every time you log your weight in the Fitbit app or with the Aria scale).

I want to get the same notification (New weight logged) in my backend without using IFTTT. How can I do that?

Hi @GeekBit,

You can use the Subscriptions API to be notified when a Fitbit user logs weight. When your application receives this notification, you'll need to query the appropriate endpoint to get the new data.

Implementing Fitbit Subscription API

Use the following step to implement Subscription API:

1. Configure a simple notification URL as described in Receiving Update Notifications.

2. Make sure your subscriber endpoint is accessible from fitbit.com servers.

3. Configure your subscriber endpoints as described in Configure A Subscriber.

4. Verify your subscriber endpoint as described in Verify A Subscriber.

5. Authenticate Fitbit users on your site as described in the OAuth authentication API.

6. Add subscriptions as described in Add A Subscription.

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

Thank you for your answer!
You don't happen to know where I can find some sample code (Microsoft .NET) to start with?

@GeekBit If you haven't done so already, I'd check out our community resources for sample code. I believe there is a .NET example there.
