"Invalid parameter subscriberId: null" while creating an apiSubscription

[abendigo]

I am trying to create an apiSubscription, using the docs here: https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/Fitbit+Subscriptions+API

I have created a default subscription endpoint in the app management page. 

Using the API Debug tool, here: https://dev.fitbit.com/apps/oauthtutorialpage I enter an access token, access token secret, this url: https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/apiSubscriptions/1.json, a nonce, refesh the typestamp, and change the type to POST. When I execute the generated request (both on my command line, and through Hurl), I get the following response:

{"errors": [{"errorType": "validation","fieldName": "subscriberId","message": "Invalid parameter subscriberId: null"}]}

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you passing X-Fitbit-Subscriber-Id header parameter?

If yes, please check that the id is the same as you have it on app management page.

If you don't pass X-Fitbit-Subscriber-Id the api call will automatically subscribe to the default subscriber.

Also try not to pass X-Fitbit-Subscriber-Id parameter and see if it's helps.

I am not adding that header. I am using the debug tool here: https://dev.fitbit.com/apps/oauthtutorialpage to generate the request.

Can you please verify that the consumer key you making request with has is the same one that is on application you added the subscription endpoint.

[ibahdanau]

PM to me the id of your app:
https://dev.fitbit.com/apps/edit/<YOUR ID HERE>

[abendigo]

Thank you. The problem was, as you suggested, I was using the wrong Consumer Key. 100% my fault. I'll go wash the egg off my face now...

I have the same problem and I verified that am using the same key and secret .

Please share the HTTP request you're making (obscuring your app secrets) and the response you're receiving.

Hi,

I'm sending this request:

POST /1/user/-/apiSubscriptions/user1.json

and I'm getting:

"message": "Invalid parameter subscriberId: null

From what I've read in the API doc the default subscriber should be automatically used, but it seems like this doesn't work for me.

Thanks,

Lior

@LiorSharecare Did you properly configure/verify a subscriber?

[LiorSharecare]

Yes, I did

@LiorSharecare Are you passing the X-Fitbit-Subscriber-Id header parameter? If you're not, try doing that and specify 1 for subscriberId.

[LiorSharecare]

Yes, I've tried this as well and it returns:

      "message": "Invalid parameter subscriberId: 1"

[AndrewFitbit]

@LiorSharecare Okay thanks, just wanted to check. Can you PM your client ID to me?

[LiorSharecare]

Once I got the authentication process straight, it worked fine. thanks!

@AndrewFitbit @LiorSharecare  I have the exact same problem. Could you please describe how you solved it?

Thank you,
