activities/tracker/minutesVeryActive - includes logged activity

[orujon]

I manually logged a couple of ficticious activities to fitbit.com and when I call

/1/user/-/activities/tracker/minutesVeryActive/date/today/1w.json

they are counted.

But when I call either of

/1/user/-/activities/tracker/steps/date/today/1w.json

/1/user/-/activities/tracker/distance/date/today/1w.json

they are ignored (as expected).

From the docs, https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API-Get-Time-Series

"2. activities/tracker/... resources represent the daily activity values logged by the tracker device only, excluding the manual activity log entries."

So do some activities/tracker/... resources include manually logged data?

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

[orujon]

It appears that

/1/user/-/activities/heart/date/today/1w.json

ignores manually logged activities.

From the docs I would have expected it's endpoint to be under "tracker" instead.

/1/user/-/activities/tracker/heart/date/today/1w.json

Fitbit folks, can you confirm the api behavior?

Thanks,

Jon

There is no manual logging of heart rate in a time series manner.

[orujon]

OK, thanks.

Any thoughts on my first question?

I'd really like activities/tracker/minutes... without the manually logged activities.

Thanks again,

Jon

Any comment on my receiving manually logged data when I call the following?

/1/user/-/activities/tracker/minutesVeryActive/date/today/1m.json

I am also looking at getting only tracker data using /1/user/-/activities/tracker/, and I too noticed just about 10 minutes ago that /1/user/-/activities/tracker/minutesVeryActive/ returns minutes accrued in a manually logged run as well as those accrued by my tracker (a Zip, in my case).

My Zip has recorded 13 very active minutes today.  If I manually log a run that is 20 minutes long, /1/user/-/activities/tracker/minutesVeryActive/ returns a total of 35 very active minutes when I think it should only return  the 13 recorded on my Zip.

I verfied this happens outside of my app using a traffic sniffer on a monitored port (Wireshark).

I have verified the behavior is incorrect. We will fix it in the near future.

I am pulling the timeseries activities/minutesVeryActive. The values returned do not match the active min. shown on my dashboard. Is this a related issue? If not, what api call do I use to get active min. as displayed on the dashboard?

[JeremiahFitbit]

@afroman: "Active minutes" in the Fitbit apps is a sum of activities/minutesFairlyActive and activities/minutesVeryActive.

@orujon @jeaglemc: This issue was fixed on September 3, 2015. I apologize for the bug!
