Web API without callback url?

[bplogan]

Hi there,

I have a healthcare app (iOS, Android) that runs off of a database in Azure and AWS.  I have patients with fitbits and would like to pull their data into my database to be displayed in the app and also to run some custom analytics.  

I'm looking at the Web API docs and all the examples require a callback url which I'm assuming is used to provide a token.  I have a cloud service written in C# that I would like to use to consume the fitbit API.  Is this possible to authenticate within a non web app and then pull data from the API?

Thanks

Hi @bplogan,

Welcome to the forums, and I apologize for the delayed response.

All apps require a callback URL/redirect URI as needed to redirect users back to your application with the necessary information to complete the authorization process.

Additionally, it is completely possible to authenticate with a non-web app to pull data with. For example, please see our community resources here as I believe there is a listing for C#.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
