Json object names are different from your example

[hmj]

I was testing intraday-time-series-api to get "activities/calories" resources, and noticed that json elements names in the response are different from your example. To be specific, I called "/1/user/activities/calories/date/today/today/15min.json" expecting "activities-log-calories-intraday" and "activities-log-calories" elements, but actually received "activities-calories-intraday" and "activities-calories" (without "log"). 

I just wanna make sure if these current object names are "correct", and not going to be changed in the future.

Thanks,

Hello Hoon.

The version that has "log" word in it is legacy version.

You can achieve "activities-log-calories-intraday" by changing your URI to be 

/1/user/-/activities/log/calories/date/today/today/15min.json

instead of 

/1/user/-/activities/calories/date/today/today/15min.json

however I'd suggest you to use new format that does not have word "log" in it.

Hi,

Can you please advise me how to access to the intraday level data in coding, e.g. hourly? (I have already got the access permission) I looked at the https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API-Get-Time-Series but could not figure out what should I put in the loggables data, is it "activities/log/steps/intraday" instead of  "activities/log/steps". In addition, regarding the URL, could you please advise me.

for instance I am using the following URL but getting "Error in downloading", is it related to the loaggables data or the URL?

var LOGGABLES = ["activities/log/steps", "activities/log/distance",
"activities/log/activityCalories",
"activities/log/calories",
"activities/log/minutesSedentary",
"activities/log/minutesLightlyActive",
"activities/log/minutesFairlyActive",
"activities/log/minutesVeryActive", ];

var date = "2014-09-15"; 

var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/" + currentActivity + "/date/" + date + "/"
+ date + ".json", options);

I would really appreciate it if you could help me in this regard.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Josh

which is different from what I sent:

https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API-Get-Intraday-Time-Series

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your message. I had checked before this link but could not figured out how to fix the issue, however it is now resolved. I aslo found this link: http://www.diybiomechanics.com/2012/02/07/fitbit-lab/ which helped me in coding. Now, I can get minute level by using this URL: "http://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/" + currentActivity + "/date/" + "2014-09-21/2014-09-21" + ".json"; I can also get 15minute level data via "2014-09-21/1d/15min/time/0:00/23:00", but if I want to get hour level, when I change the URL to this one: "2014-09-21/1d/60min/time/0:00/23:00" it doesn't work, could you please advise me in this regard?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Josh

Hello Josh,

please read carefully through the link I posted above: https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API-Get-Intraday-Time-Series - it has all information about intraday time series.

As it says in that wiki the only presicions that are supported are: 15 min and 1 min. No other presicions are currently supported.
