Getting Device Data via API

[dilip_rajendran]

Hi,

We have been trying to access the device data via API.

1. We have created the subscription and our application is receiving the alert when I sync my device data.

[ { collectionType: 'activities',
date: '2017-01-20',
ownerId: '4ZXXXX',
ownerType: 'user',
subscriptionId: '4ZXXXX' } ]

2. Once we receive the alert, we are calling this API to get the data. But it returns only the data we logged via Fitbit Web portal not the data we synced from the device.

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/4ZXXXX/activities/date/2017-01-20.json

Please let me know if we are missing something.

Thanks

@dilip_rajendran It's a summary of activity so it will include both. Have you checked the device's last sync time? Can I see the response you're getting?

[dilip_rajendran]

@AndrewFitbit , when we called https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/4ZXXXX/activities/date/2017-01-20.json, we are getting the data manually logged in the Fitbit web portal NOT the data synced from the Fitbit device.

Please find the response below. These are the 5 entries we logged manually in Fitbit portal. Apart from these 5 entries, there are other steps data in the Fitbit portal for 20th Jan 2017 which we are not getting in the response.

Please help.

@dilip_rajendran See within "summary":

       "activity": "tracker",
       "distance": 2.79

"elevation": 21.34,
    "fairlyActiveMinutes": 0,
    "floors": 7,
    "lightlyActiveMinutes": 250,
    "marginalCalories": 200,
    "sedentaryMinutes": 527,

Hi @AndrewFitbit,

I think that may help.

I will check this with my team on Monday.

Thanks

[AndrewFitbit]

@dilip_rajendran Sure thing, let me know if you need any further clarification.

[dilip_rajendran · Accepted solution]

Hi @AndrewFitbit, We have found another API which returns the data we were expecting.

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/4ZXXXX/activities/list.json?afterDate=2017-01-20&sort=asc&limit=20&off...

Thank you so much for your support.
