Missing CORS response header for activity APIs

I've had users report errors that started happening this morning (Sep 1). Based on the browser console screenshots they provided, some of the API responses are missing CORS headers (specifically, access-control-allow-origin). This completely breaks functionality on our website because we make API requests from the browser rather than via a backend. It looks like it was due to a change/rollout in the API, since it started affecting a subset of users earlier and is now affecting everyone. It's only happening for activity APIs, such as the steps/distance timeseries. Other APIs like sleep and heart timeseries are unaffected. ... View more

The "DELETE /1/user/-/activities/[activity-log-id].json" endpoint seems to consistently return 502 Bad Gateway error, even though the deletion actually went through (server successfully deleted the activity). I've also noticed in the Fitbit Android app (have not tested iOS), deleting an activity log seems to get stuck on the delete confirmation dialog (hitting "yes" does not dismiss the dialog, and there's no indication that the deletion took place) and the app doesn't update to reflect that the activity log has been deleted until sometime later. It's possible that this is related. ... View more

If you're using the Fitbit Web API (api.fitbit.com not fitbit.com/dashboard), this question would be better asked in https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Web-API-Development/bd-p/dev . The web API is separate from the web dashboard. The web dashboard has already been discontinued; the Web API is not affected although you can ask in the other forum to confirm. ... View more

Search Food API sometimes returning empty results

Currently, the Search Food API seems to be randomly returning empty results for searches. To reproduce: use the Web API explorer and set the query to something like "cheez" or "honey". https://api.fitbit.com/1/foods/search.json?query=cheez Try it a few times. The API will sometimes return results and sometimes an empty list. ... View more
