Sudden change to the Web API?

[jamesmhaley]

Hey gang, 

Yesterday our app was working with no issues, and today the Fitbit API is firing back the following message. We've changed no code, so wondering if there has been a change in the API?

{ message: 'validation',
     data: 
      { errorType: 'validation',
        fieldName: 'resource path',
        message: 'Invalid time series resource path: /activities/tracker/elevation' } }

Any reason your end why this would happen?

Looking further into it, this url fails.

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities/tracker/elevation/date/today/1y.json

Even though it is listed at https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/activity/#browse-activity-types.

Other endpoints work fine, like 

activities/tracker/calories

Hey @jamesmhaley, have you tried making this same request via curl to see if you get the same error?

[jamesmhaley]

Was using postman. Was asked to send my app id, i've done that now. 

Any update on this?

@jamesmhaley I got your clientId and checked if your app possible had a problems and didn't find any.

As @DavidSFitbit suggested please try to run the same request using curl. Please check out this page https://dev.fitbit.com/apps/oauthinteractivetutorial - it will help you setting up CURL command.
