fitbit api stopped returning data

[MobileRez]

attempted to call 

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities/steps/date/today/1y.json

and i got sucess. however, after 2-3 more attempts at debugging, the api stoped returning data. and the error it keeps returning (after successful calls) is a invalid redirect_url error. i tried switching my app to https://localhost/ in the settings and in my postman / other fitbit calls to see if I can get a 4xx or 5xx error... and just keep getting the invalid redirect url error...

what the heck is going on? did i some how exceed the max calls per hour? and if so why is it not returning some other error rather then a invalid redirect url error. if there is something else going on, (blocked app for following rules, etc) ?

So update on this... I noticed in the API docs for the call i am using https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/activity/  state that...

"Even if you provide earlier dates in the request, the response will retrieve only data since the user's join date or the first log entry date for the requested collection."

 But when I made calls to the resource via https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities/steps/date/today/1m.json

it returned 365 entries... I did not start using a fitbit to log data since Thursday January 11th 2018. below is the returned json with some ending entries removed for length... ut as you can see this endpoint also returns data that makes the above entry false as it returns EVERYTHING regardless of if they started using FitBit before a certain date or not. 

Whats going on and can you please help me figure stuff out so i can get this returning data again?

@MobileRez can you please PM to me your app id so I can take a closer look at what's going on?

[MobileRez]

okay so its not randomly working again... not sure why but still returning all the extra data...

[IoanbsuFitbit]

@MobileRez interesting. Ok, so one thing I can assure you with is that we have not changed anything since yesterday on our end as far as I know.

[MobileRez]

Sure,

Also do you have to sync your device data though the app or can the Ionic
fo it it's self via the wifi... The Android app is really eating up my
battery

[IoanbsuFitbit]

@MobileRez I suggest to ask this question at this forum space: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Android-App/bd-p/android

[MobileRez]

Okay I will do that after I do some testing. If you need it I can send you the code for the entire app I am working in as it will be open source once I'm done.

However the question about the device basically comes down to " do I need to pair it with a mobile device to sync data"
