Unable to register an Application

[Ariadna]

I'm getting a "No data received" error while sending the form, using Google Chrome. Does anyone know if something is wrong with the server, and if it is being fixed? Thanks.

Hello, you can always check fitbit api server status at: http://status.fitbit.com/

Exactly API requst are you sending?

[Ariadna]

Hi! Thanks for your response.

I'm just trying to register my app here: https://dev.fitbit.com/apps/new

I want to do the very first step, to get my API consumer key and secret so my application has access to Fitbit API.

Hi, I just tried registering a new application using Chrome (version 37) and it succeeded. Can you try in a different browser (without any extensions) and see if you have the same issue?

[Ariadna]

Hi, thanks for the reply.

My Chrome version is 37 too.

And yes, I tried with Firefox version 23 and Safary version 7

I'm getting an 504 Gateway Timeout Error.

I registered my application using another computer without errors.

Thank you for your assistence.

I was starting to think mine was a dummy problem with such an easy solution.

Regards.

I'm glad that worked. I dug through our logs and could not find an instance where that page returned any errors.

Hi,

I am using Fitbit java library jar named  fitbit4j-1.0.25.jar  and I am getting following exception now

Fitbit4j is deprecated and no longer being actively supported. The source code for it is readily available on our Github and you can freely modify it. https://github.com/Fitbit/fitbit4j

Ok, got it, so is there any different java library available which I can readily use though since fitbit4j is deprecated and not supported for future changes ?

Yes, you can use any number of OAuth 1 libraries available in Java, such as oauth-signpost.

Hi dchen,

Thanks, however, our application is already in production since sometime using fitbit4j, can we somehow get some help to fix this library for new changes, we can fix it an create jar on our end. It would be great if we are able to modify exisiting library from the perspective of our application that relies on fitbit api calls

Regards

Aditya

Yes, you can modify the FitbitApiClientAgent.java file to use the https://api.fitbit.com base URL for all API calls. Take a look at this line in the code:
