Known Issue: HRV and BR Intraday data endpoint returns 403 for personal application type

[GordonFitbit]

We are aware there is a long standing problem with querying your own HRV and BR intraday data when the application type is set to "personal".  We are trying to get a fix prioritized with the engineering team.   In the meantime, please submit an intraday request to https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=1677887&template=2088089.   We will manually enable intraday for your client ID.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your patience.  The problem has been resolved.  Now, when your application type is set to "personal" you should be able to query your own HRV and BR Intraday data.

Hi,

Could you please clarify what it means when the application type is set to “personal”?

I am still encountering issues when trying to retrieve HRV and breathing rate (BR) data. In this case, do I still need to submit an intraday data request to access these metrics?

Hi @yuhang 

"Personal" applications can have either the client or server architecture. The application can only access the data in the developer's Fitbit account, including their intraday data. You can find more details in our official documentation here: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/developer-guide/application-design/#Application-Types .

If you're still experiencing issues, can you please submit an intraday request to https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=1677887&template=2088089.  We will manually enable intraday for your client ID. Please also let us know what errors you are facing; we will investigate and escalate to the Engineering team if needed. Thanks!
