500 Internal Server Error:

An error occurred with the Fitbit Web API while processing the request.

Try your request later.

I've tried it several times over the past several minutes to no avail... Can the error be more detailed? I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong (new to your API so that's entirely possible), or if this is exclusively a problem with your server.

Hi @cory22222222222 

It looks like the UTC offset in your "time=" parameter is missing a 0. Please try again using the HH:MM formatting. In this case, it should look like this :

time=17:45-05:00

Let me know if this helps!

Oh god I'm so embarrassed. Thank you John. 😃
