Problem of Source Field Values in Fitbit Weight Data API

[Deabel]

I am developing an application that integrates with the Fitbit Web API to retrieve health data, specifically weight-related data. I have noticed that the source field in the weight data response currently provides a limited set of predefined values (e.g., "API", "Aria", or predefined scale sources). While these values are useful, they do not fully meet my application's needs.

I would like to request the ability to customize or expand the source field to include more specific values, such as the package name of the application submitting the data. For example, including the app's package name (e.g., com.myapp.example) in the source field would allow better tracking and attribution of data sources, especially for third-party integrations. This enhancement would greatly improve the flexibility and usability of the API for developers like me.

Could you please confirm if this feature can be support

Hi @Deabel 

The reason for the limited source list is due to the create weight/body fat log endpoints.  We don't provide an option to allow 3rd party application to provide their scale name.  Therefore, the default response is "API".  Fitbit owns the Aria scales and had a partnership with Withings which is why those names are listed.

I will create a feature request for this to help improve the data being returned.
