Update Weight log documentation

[myfitnesscomp]

In the proces of upgrading the app using the latest API and I noticed a small typo in your documentation

https://dev.fitbit.com/docs/body/#get-weight-logs

For retrieving weight it says:

GET https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/[user-id]/body/log/weight/[base-date]/[end-date].json

this should be (the date is missing!)

GET https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/[user-id]/body/log/weight/date/[base-date]/[end-date].json

Also in your documentation you say "date The date in the format YYYY-mm-dd."

It should be "date The date in the format yyyy-MM-dd."

Small mistakes but crucial to get it to work.

Hi, I am using this api, but I understand the end-date should be in form 1m, 3m, 1y etc, but only 1m works?

This still dont work?

I used: https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/body/log/weight/date/2018-01-30/2018-01-01.json

and it fails, the only version that works is:

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/body/log/weight/date/2018-01-30/1m.json

- and even trying to use 3m etc does not work!

@2mR the url seems incorrect to me

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/body/log/weight/date/2018-01-30/2018-01-01.json

in this url

start date: 2018-01-30

end date: 2018-01-01

which kind-a makes no sense.

[2mR]

yes, you are right, small typo, its sjould be end-date 2017, but the point being that it does not tolerate any end date of this format, only “1m” and note even 3m, 1y etc…

 @2mR

the only supported formats are: 1d,7d,1w,1m.

When you enter start date and end date, the difference between start date and end date can't be more than 31 days. Please see more details at our documentation here: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/body/
