How to integrate FitBit Api in IOS app using Swift - ios

Question

First of all I created an account at https://www.fitbit.com
Then I careated an app at https://dev.fitbit.com
then installed OAuthSwift using cocoa pods and implemented this method in my AppDelegate
func application(app: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, options: [String : AnyObject]) -> Bool {
if (url.host == "oauth-callback") {
OAuthSwift.handleOpenURL(url)
}
return true
}
now i want to get the data (Name, Steps taken etc) of user account I created at https://www.fitbit.com
how can I do that ? I searched but was not able to find any tutorial on fitbit integration. And where to use this information in my code?
So please guide me about next step what should I do to get the data.

Answer 1

FitBit work with OAuth 2.0 API which require Client ID and Secret key. You need these client id and secret key to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 API.
There is a blog post related to FitBit integration in iOS with Swift.
Lets checkout and learn "How to implement fitbit in iOS"
https://appengineer.in/2016/04/30/fitbit-aouth-in-ios-app/
ex:
let oauthswift = OAuth2Swift(
consumerKey: fitbit_clientID,
consumerSecret: fitbit_consumer_secret,
authorizeUrl: "https://www.fitbit.com/oauth2/authorize",
accessTokenUrl: "https://api.fitbit.com/oauth2/token",
responseType: "token"
)

Any chance you could do it with basic auth as opposed to OAuth? I had a similar problem trying to POST to MailGun for some automated emails I was implementing in an app.
I was able to get this working properly with a large HTTP response. I put the full path into Keys.plist so that I can upload my code to github and broke out some of the arguments into variables so I can have them programmatically set later down the road.
// Email the FBO with desired information
// Parse our Keys.plist so we can use our path
var keys: NSDictionary?
if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Keys", ofType: "plist") {
keys = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
}
if let dict = keys {
// variablize our https path with API key, recipient and message text
let mailgunAPIPath = dict["mailgunAPIPath"] as? String
let emailRecipient = "bar#foo.com"
let emailMessage = "Testing%20email%20sender%20variables"
// Create a session and fill it with our request
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: mailgunAPIPath! + "from=FBOGo%20Reservation%20%3Cscheduler#<my domain>.com%3E&to=reservations#<my domain>.com&to=\(emailRecipient)&subject=A%20New%20Reservation%21&text=\(emailMessage)")!)
// POST and report back with any errors and response codes
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
print("url = \(response.URL!)")
print("response = \(response)")
let httpResponse = response as! NSHTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
The Mailgun Path is in Keys.plist as a string called mailgunAPIPath with the value:
https://API:key-<my key>#api.mailgun.net/v3/<my domain>.com/messages?
Hope this helps!
