Sleep Time Series Discrepancy

[FedericoArg]

Could someone from Fitbit API take a look at the following issue. Looks like Sleep in the Time Series is not returning correct values and the dashboard seems to be showing different information.

I mainly asking this because I am seeing a Bug in the Fitbit API when returning this information.

215 / 60 = 3.58 hours which does not match with what I slept that day (6.32hours)

{

"sleep-minutesAsleep": [

    {

      "dateTime": "2015-03-18",
      "value": "215"
    }
  ]
}

What API call are you using? You should be using API-Get-Sleep and looking at the "summary" section, which shows the total of all sleep sessions for the day, which should look like:

 "summary":{

        "totalMinutesAsleep":518,

        "totalSleepRecords":2,

        "totalTimeInBed":540

    }

We are using the Time-Series API which should get the aggregated values for the entire day.

sleep/minutesAsleep
sleep/awakeningsCount    
sleep/minutesAwake

No, it shouldn't. You will note on that page it says: "1. Note that sleep collection resources represent values for the main sleep entry for the dates in request (this is the log entry labeled with "isMainSleep" = true)."

So it specifically only includes the primary sleep session.

I combined your posts all in the API forum, where it is most appropriate. But again, if you look at the documentation, it appears to be working as intended.

Thank you for pointing that to me.

I don't see that caveat at https://dev.fitbit.com/docs/sleep/#get-sleep-time-series. Was that an intentional omission?
