Fitbit library throwing protocol error

[aditya14641]

I am getting following exception from the fitbit jar I am using

com.fitbit.api.FitbitAPIException: 400: The request was invalid. An accompanying error message will explain why.

{"errors":[{"errorType":"request","fieldName":"n/a","message":"This request should use https protocol."}],"success":false}

The exception means that the endpoint that you're using has to work through https protocol.

Please beware that starting from Nov 3 2014 all API endpoints will require HTTPS protocol.

So please make sure that you update your code by that time.

If you use Fitbit4j library the option you have is either fork from this project and build jar that uses HTTPS only.

Or you can only override the only single class and have it use https instead of http and put it inside your project with the same path as it is inside fitbit4j. The class you need to modify is FitbitApiClientAgent as far as I remember, you just need to update the getApiBaseUrl() to look like that:

public String getApiBaseUrl() {
return getApiBaseSecuredUrl();
}
