Requesting Authorization to Fitbit User Data

Hello all,

I was following the developer's guide for obtaining user authorization and after generating the code challenge, i tried to load the link to the authorization page. However, i keep getting the error

The app you're trying to connect did not provide valid information to Fitbit. Please report this issue to them.  Developer information: unsupported_response_type - Invalid response_type parameter value

Does anyone have any suggestions to how i can fix it?

Hi @typro199,

Can you provide me with your full authorization url and be sure to redact/hide your client id? I want to make sure your request is formatted correctly

Hi JohnFitbit,

I have been able to solved the issue with authorization and gotten the access tokens but i would like to implement OAuth 2.0 to my own mobile application that can access the data from the fitbit device using OAuth 2.0. Is it possible? and Does the choice of platform matter? 

This is the Authorization URL i have been using - https://www.fitbit.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=X&scope=activity+cardio_fitness...
