How to retrieve friend's weight data from API?

[Beltran]

Hello there, I asked my Fitbit connections to got to Settings > Privacy (https://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/privacy) and set "Weight Graph" visible to Friends. After that, I tried to retrieve this data but got: "weight":0

I asked them to do the same with "Age" and it worked perfectly. Anybody knows what's wrong? Is it possible that the Weight privacy settings are somewhere else?? Thanks

@Beltran That setting is just for the weight graph on the fitbit.com dashboard. Weight defaults to private and currently can't be changed. Unless you're making requests on behalf of the user, you won't be able to retrieve their weight.
