TABLE OF CONTENTS:

 

 

This board is for the discussion of Fitbit's API. Here, you can ask questions and get direct responses from in-house developers and fellow third-party developers.

 

You can search existing discussions here or start a new topic by using the Ask A Question feature.

 

A few things to keep in mind when starting a new topic:

  1. Please first review our API documentation. The most frequently asked questions are answered there.
  2. Check out our interactive OAuth 2.0 tutorial page.
  3. Search to see if anyone else has asked a similar question before posting.
  4. Never publicly share your application's client secret or user access tokens.
  5. Fitbit engineers can review actual HTTP requests made to the Fitbit API to help diagnose issues, but will not debug your application code.
  6. If you feel that you must share application code, avoid posting large portions of code. Use a GitHub gist or link to your code.
  7. Please do not private message Fitbit employees unless requested. Email API Support if you have a confidential matter. 

If you've requested Intraday Time Series Access and haven't heard back from API Support, please be patient. They will review each request in the order in which they were received. We also ask that you please refrain from posting on the forums in regard to your case.

 

If you have a feature suggestion, please use our Feature Suggestion forum and label the request with "API".
