Trying to get postman to work with the shim

[rasalt]

I have the dockerized version of shimmer running. I've configured postman Its doing a GET on {{api-base-url}}/authorize/{{shim-key}}?username={{username}} api-base-url is http://35.222.111.95 shim-key is fitbit username is user1

shimmer is setup with my fitbit client id/ key etc. I am getting this error "Could not get any response There was an error connecting to http://35.222.111.95/authorize/fitbit?username=user1. Why this might have happened: The server couldn't send a response: Ensure that the backend is working properly Self-signed SSL certificates are being blocked: Fix this by turning off 'SSL certificate verification' in Settings > General Proxy configured incorrectly Ensure that proxy is configured correctly in Settings > Proxy Request timeout: Change request timeout in Settings > General"

I have disabled postman proxy settings and turned off SSL.

Please advise what to expect and how to make progress. I am wanting the open mhealth version and that is it. Would be very very grateful for the help. Desperately wanting to move past this to have a pipeline flowing through shimmer.

I made a bit of progress and got this as part of the response as part of the "initiate authorization"

"authorizationUrl": "https://www.fitbit.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=%2223B8T2%22&redirect_uri=http://localhost:80/authorize/fitbit/callback&scope=activity%20heartrate%20sleep%20weight&state=I8XSBu&prompt=login%20consent",

Pasting the url value in the browser gives me this error:

"The app you're trying to connect did not provide valid information to Fitbit. Please report this issue to them.

Developer information: unauthorized_client - Invalid client_id" In the url, what is the "state" value ? and does that redirect look decent ?

[rasalt]

Please advise on the authorizationUrl above.

A followup question is, do you anticipate shimmer to be used in a "pull model" alone ? i.e. applications pulling wearables data at their cadence ? fitbit provides a subscriptions API which can be used to notify applications regarding data availability and the application then makes relevant calls to pull data from the fitbit servers. I didn't find a similar concept and am assuming, seeing the POSTMAN setup that the model assumed is a pull model. Would be super appreciative if someone can confirm. I also don't know whether this repo is still in use or abandoned. Thank you.

The repo is not dead. Thanks for contributing.

1. Working on the URL question now. Will respond when I have a good answer.
2. Pull model is correct.

Hi @rasalt, can you please confirm that the redirect_uri is the same URI configured in you Fitbit Developer dashboard? The URIs need to match, otherwise, fitbit won't return any data.

Thank you!

Hi I've dockerized the application and tried to authorize an user to get data from fitbit. I tried "initiazation request" in postman setup . I received a response like which has clientRedirectUrl : null and requestParams": { "redirect_url": null } I pasted the authorization url in browser which has a callback url exactly the same as configured in fitbit dev app. I get _Developer information: invalid_request - Invalid redirect_uri parameter value_ Can you please help me on this as I couldn't authorize any user .
