using the api

[meysamnick]

Hi Guys, I'm new to API dev. I have done some studies and did few examples. I have gone through the docs of python-fitbit but still can not figure out how to get the access token and then doing some other stuff. here is what i have done:

1. registered an app in fitbit and got my client id and secret
2. i provide them as arguments to gather_keys_oauth2.py. it opens a browser and redirect me to my redirect_url (after getting permission) but it stops there.
3. i dont get to see any response or access token fetched. i just see that in my URL i see a string code=...
4. what should I do now please? can someone give me a hint please?
   my later step is to use the other project django to retrieve some data and populate it to a webpage... (any hint here also is really appreciated)

thanks a bunch!
M

@meysamnick did you got working? I am facing similar issues

You need to set your redirect URL on the fitbit website to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ unless you are running a modified version of this script.

@LEXmono doesn't the API require an https redirect URI?

@danielnjoo It appears not to need https if you're using localhost.
