Response Headers
| content-type | The media type of the response content being sent to the client. Supported: application/json |
| fitbit-rate-limit-limit | The quota number of calls. |
| fitbit-rate-limit-remaining | The number of calls remaining before hitting the rate limit. |
| fitbit-rate-limit-reset | The number of seconds until the rate limit resets. |
Note: The rate limit headers are approximate and asynchronously updated. This means that there may be a minor delay in the decrementing of remaining requests. This could result in your application receiving an unexpected 429 response if you don't track the total number of requests you make yourself.
Response Type
| HTTP Status Code | HTTP response code. List of codes are found in the Troubleshooting Guide. |
| Status Message | Description of the status code. |

Additional Information
The data is returned in the format requested using units in the unit system which corresponds to the Accept-Language header provided.
Activity statistics includes Lifetime and Best achievement values from the My Achievements tile on the website dashboard. Response contains both statistics from the tracker device and total numbers including tracker data and manual activity log entries as seen on the Fitbit website dashboard.
The Fitbit user's My Achievements (Friends or Anyone) privacy
permission grants access to user's resource.
Distance
Devices that support on-device or connected GPS will record distance when the exercise is initiated using the on-device Exercise application. For auto-detected exercises, we use steps and the stride length of the user to estimate distance. To determine how the exercise was recorded, see the Get Activity Log List response element "logType".
