Problems with Intraday Time Seris API

Hi

I have applied, for and been granted, access to the intraday time series for my application. I am still developing the applciation and therefore it's undergoing a lot of testing and change at the moment. Recently, I had it working well for accessing Time Series HR data - both for me as the owner of the App and also for another fitbit user who's helping in the testing. However, I have now 'lost' the ability to access data for anyone other than the owner of the App.

 

Could it be that I have inadvertantly reset the app back to 'Owner only' access by changing the parameters of the App in dev.fitbit.com - for example would changing the App from "Personal" to "Clinet" and back again have this effect? If so, how do I get it corrected?

 

If not, then any other ideas as to what's gone wrong? Everything else is working finr, but when I try to access data for another user, as soon as they login, I receive the following message:

 

Developer information: unauthorized_client - A "Personal" application is only authorized to request access tokens from the owner of the application.

 

Any suggestions/ideas?

 

Thanks

A "Personal" app can only access data of the app owner. You can set the app back to Client or Server, but other people will need to re-authorize your app in order for it to access data on their behalf.

Many thanks Jeremiah -mystery solved!

It's working fine again now that I have reverted to "client" mode.

Thanks
