At this page you can simply copy and paste your data and see right away how the right signature should look like and how this signature was formed(base string + "signed with" value)

Thank you again for your reply. I am still unsure of how to call the API with the existing token from storage.

Would it be possible to show me example code of calling the API with a token retrieved from storage?

Thanks,

Hussain

Hi Hussain,

Are you using an existing OAuth 1 client? Most clients support some method of setting user token and secret.

For example, in the FitbitPHP client, you call:

$fitbit->setOAuthDetails('token_stored_for_user', 'secret_stored_for_user');
