Fitbit Web API - Go client

This package allows you to create a "server" application that interacts with the Fitbit API in Go.

Usage

The prerequisite is to follow the Getting Started official guide.

Once you have created a Fitbit Developer account you have to register a new application, of server type. Then, there are 2 required steps:

Server application Authorization flow.

galeone/fitbit gives you the basic functionalities for implementing the Authorization Code Grant Flow with PKCE. You need to be familiar with some Web Framework for implementing what's described in the Server application Authorization flow.)
Client usage.

Once the user granted the permissions to your application, you can use the authorized client for querying the Fitbit API. NOTE: only the GET queries are supported right now. It means that you can fetch everything (in a very convenient format, using annotated Go Structs), but you can't do POST/PUT/DELETE operations.

Server application Authorization flow

You also need to be familiar with some Web Framework (not shown).

Create a type that implements the fitbit.Storage interface. You can see an implementation based on PostgreSQL, through the package galeone/igor here: galeone/fitbit-pgdb.
Create a fitbit.Authorizer object

Create the endpoint for the authorization flow. The content should look like

 fitbitAuthorizer := fitbit.NewAuthorizer(_db, _clientID, _clientSecret, _redirectURL)

 authorizing := types.AuthorizingUser{
     CSRFToken: uuid.New().String(),
     // Code verifier for PKCE
     // https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/developer-guide/authorization/#Authorization-Code-Grant-Flow-with-PKCE
     Code: fmt.Sprintf("%s-%s", uuid.New().String(), uuid.New().String()),
 }

 fitbitAuthorizer.SetAuthorizing(&authorizing)

 // Potentially set cookie for identifying the authorizing user
 c.SetCookie(&http.Cookie{
     Name: "authorizing",
     Value: fitbitAuthorizer.CSRFToken().String(),
     // No Expires = Session cookie
     HttpOnly: true,
 })

 if err = _db.InsertAuthorizingUser(&authorizing); err != nil {
     return err
 }

 var auth_url *url.URL
 if auth_url, err = fitbitAuthorizer.AuthorizationURL(); err != nil {
     return err
 }

 c.Redirect(http.StatusTemporaryRedirect, auth_url.String())

Create the endpoint for the Redirect URI. The content should look like

 state := c.QueryParam("state")
 if state != fitbitAuthorizer.CSRFToken().String() {
     return c.Redirect(http.StatusTemporaryRedirect, "/error?status=csrf")
 }

 code := c.QueryParam("code")
 var token *types.AuthorizedUser
 var err error
 if token, err = fitbitAuthorizer.ExchangeAuthorizationCode(code); err != nil {
     return c.Redirect(http.StatusTemporaryRedirect, "/error?status=exchange")
 }
 // Update the fitbitclient. Now it contains a valid token and HTTP can be used to query the API
 fitbitAuthorizer.SetToken(token)

 // Save token and redirect user to the application
 if err = _db.UpsertAuthorizedUser(token); err != nil {
     return err
 }
 // Cookie used to identify the user that authorized the application
 cookie := http.Cookie{
     Name:     "token",
     Value:    token.AccessToken,
     Domain:   _domain,
     Expires:  time.Now().Add(time.Second * time.Duration(token.ExpiresIn)),
     HttpOnly: true,
 }
 c.SetCookie(&cookie)
 // Redirect the user to your application endpoint
 c.Redirect(http.StatusTemporaryRedirect, "/app")

That's all.

Client usage

After the user authorized the application, you can re-create the fitbit.Authorizer fetching the data from the database (using your Storage implementation) and create the authorized fitbit.Client.

fitbitAuthorizer := fitbit.NewClient(_db, _clientID, _clientSecret, _redirectURL)

// Auhtorization token (after exhange)
cookie, err = c.Cookie("token")

var dbToken *types.AuthorizedUser
if dbToken, err = _db.AuthorizedUser(cookie.Value); err != nil {
    return err
}

// Set the valid token
fitbitAuthorizer.SetToken(dbToken)

// Create the client
var fb *client.Client
if fb, err = client.NewClient(fitbitAuthorizer); err != nil {
    return err
}

// Use it!

var logs *types.ActivityLogList
if logs, err = fb.UserActivityLogList(&types.Pagination{
    Offset:     0,
    BeforeDate: types.FitbitDateTime{Time: time.Now()},
    Limit:      10,
    Sort:       "desc",
}); err != nil {
    return
}

for _, activity := range logs.Activities {
    if activity.TcxLink != "" {
        var tcxDB *tcx.TCXDB
        if tcxDB, err = fb.UserActivityTCX(activity.LogID); err != nil {
            return
        }
        // So something with the tcxDB
    }
   // Do something with the activity
}
