Quick Question on Request Authorization to Fitbit User Data

[Chochu]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the link the user click on for Request Authorization has a expiration time? If we generate multiple link and send them out to the user at the end of the month would the link still be avaiable?

Does the expires_in does anything in the url below?

https://www.fitbit.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=*****&redirect_uri=*****callbac...

Much Thanks

Hi @Chochu 

The authorization URL does not expire.  It doesn't initiate the oauth flow until the user clicks on it.  The expires_in parameter is related to the access token expiration time.  The default is 8 hours, and it cannot be changed.  We continue to have it documented for backward compatibility.
