accessing another user's Fitbit data via API

ANSWERED

Hi,

 

I am working on a Fitbit software integration using the API.  Alas, I don't own a Fitbit (yet).  My sister has a Flex 2, and she said I can test with her data.  Great!  But it is not clear to do that.

 

Can someone sketch out how an iOS user connects their Fitbit to the web so the API can access their data?  My sister is rather tech challenged, and lives in another state.

 

Thanks!

Hi there,
as you are requesting the token (https://www.fitbit.com/oauth2/authorize) for accessing the data, the user (she) has to authorize this, by typing in her credentials.
Through that generated token you are now able to access her data, just put a "-" in the parameter in the url for the user ID.
