Question: Distinguish weight by user #69

My partner and I are both set up on the same Body+ scales. How do I distinguish her measurements from mine?

I have looked at the docs and I cannot see how withings advises who logged the measurement. What am I missing here?

Withings distinguishes between people though a separate profile or account. At any rate, it means you must keep a second set of authentication tokens and credentials.

Using IFTTT, all her measurements are ending up in my Google spreadsheet, so I was wondering if there was a way to Python something.

If I access the API with my keys, will it ignore her measurements and only show me mine?

If you access the api with your keys, only your data will be returned. You have to use a separate set of keys for another person. IFFT likely uses an unpublished api which gives them access to all data with one set of credentials. It's not uncommon for companies to provide access in this way.
