we do not receive oxygen saturation or breathing rate notifications?

[aedwip]

We are in the process of developing our first data collector. I am the "test user" . I have authorized fitbit to share data with our test server. We only receive notification events for activities and sleep. When I registered I clicked on Allow All

To test each morning I manually force the fitbit app on my iPhone to sync, then check the log files

I assumed that when ever data became available for an authorized scope fitbit would send us a notification event JSON with key "collectionType" set to the scope associated with the new data.

as a test any time we receive an 'activities' notification, I call the SpO2 and BreatingRate api and am able to get data. Clearly this is not going to work if the user has not authorized 'oxygen saturation' or 'breathing rate' scopes

I have not fully implemented  apiSubscriptions. this is how I am currently forming the url

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/xxxx/apiSubscriptions/xxxx-SubID-TODO.json 

Any suggestions what my bug might be?

Kind regards

Andy

Hi @aedwip 

Breathing rate (BR), SpO2 and HRV do not support Subscription notifications (webhooks).  BR, SpO2 and HRV are recorded during periods of sleep, not activity.   If your application tracks sleep, then you can use the sleep notification arrival time to estimate when theBR, SpO2 and HRV data will be available.  See the "Additional Information" section in the appropriate endpoint documentation.    If you are not collecting sleep data, then I would recommend querying theBR, SpO2 and HRV data once or twice a day to see if data is available (e.g. 12 noon and midnight).

Hi Gordan

is there a list of which scopes have Subscription notifications (webhooks). I hard to  go through all the documentation

Kind regards

The scopes are documented several places where we reference subscriptions.   See if the Create Subscription endpoint page clarifies this for you.
